Experts are wondering how Kolomoisky’s departure will affect the situation in Donbass
Moscow - Kyiv, March 24 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Stamm) - The Kremlin is not sure that Kolomoisky’s possible departure will help the cause of peace in Donbass. The DPR says that they will not regret Benya’s departure. Military expert "Sheets" believes that the truce may even strengthen, because Kolomoisky’s terbats often violated it.

This is the beginning of systemic actions to return state-owned companies, which Kolomoisky used for his business interests, under state control, says Kiev political scientist Vladimir Fesenko: “The removal of Kolomoisky is the opening of a second front, which cannot be done now, the president understands this and, I think, Kolomoisky understands “Why give gifts to Putin?”
“Kolomoisky’s departure is unlikely to make the position of the Ukrainian political elite predictable in relation to a political settlement with the Donbass republics,” Alexey Chesnakov, head of the Center for Political Current Affairs, which is close to the Kremlin, told Vedomosti.
A person in the leadership of the DPR emphasizes that it was Kolomoisky who organized the food blockade of Donbass at the end of last year and they will not regret his departure to the DPR.
The truce if the Kolomoisky factor disappears may strengthen, since his battalions violated the ceasefire the most, says reserve colonel Viktor Murakhovsky.
The decline of these battalions after Kolomoisky’s funding was canceled will have little effect on the military balance, since they have had no success since the rebels acquired heavy weapons, but the Dnepropetrovsk administration under the leadership of Kolomoisky made a great contribution to the logistics and medical support of the Ukrainian forces and one can expect that with less With energetic leadership, this role will weaken, the expert believes.
