http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-truce-holds-russia-vows-economic-pain-175516384--finance.html While supporting the separatists, Moscow has said it accepts the rebellious east should remain part of Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the state news agency RIA-Novosti last week that pro-Russian separatists were prepared to re-enter a "common economic, humanitarian and political space" with Ukraine. Good to see the sanctions on Russia are finally working, and Russia is finally coming to their senses. Donetsk and Lugansk will stay part of Ukraine, but have autonomy like Crimea used to have.
true still today. Donbas will remain part of Ukraine, as it should. the rebels don't even control 50% of the Donbas territory.
