Motivations? I do not see a single one.

I can see many. Donetsk is home to some 4.5 million people, of whom 97% are Slavs and 2% Greek. Gaining extra hard working people who are ethnically similar to the Russians is much better than importing the same number of Muslims from Uzbekistan or Azerbaidzhan. Also, there are a number of large scale industries in Donetsk.
