“Many people, informally, of course, not on camera, not on record, but many people in his circle, and in general in the so-called “patriotic camp” say: “Why do we need Donbass at all? We lost Crimea - it’s good that we lost Crimea, Donbass would still be there, without Donbass. You know how much we win electorally then.
