That is because the British government has given them the choice to leave the UK if they are not happy with the present arrangement.
In the case of Ukraine, the Ukranian government should have arranged for an internationally supervised referendum to take place in the disputed regions in Ukraine.
That way the world would have seen who is telling the truth.

That "region" doesn't belong to Ukraine without the consent of the people who live there, anymore than Kosovo belonged to Serbia or for that matter the UK belonged to the EU.
