“It seems very likely that a piece of Russia has now appeared within Ukraine, which will influence our political life and constantly lay claim to budget money (at least in the form of subsidies to miners)... Maybe we should call a spade a spade and give the occupied territories the status of occupied territories territories, and not some ephemeral “special” part of Ukraine?” – writes the magazine “Tizhden”.
“As for Donbass itself, its future does not seem rosy in any case. Russia never agreed to take the rebellious region into its fold; in their native state, its inhabitants voluntarily received the status of outcasts behind “engineering structures,” and the desired fake “independence” is preparing the once rich expanse to become a depressive, unpromising hole. It doesn’t look very much like the prosperity promised by the separatists, but it is noticeably reminiscent of the old Donetsk horror story about barbed wire, which Tymoshenko allegedly wanted to fence off Donbass with,” the publication recalls.
“Ukraine can live normally without the “breadwinners” - Lugansk and Donetsk,” writes the magazine “Kraina” in turn.
