“There is only one reason for designating certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as occupied territory - awareness of the long-term nature of the loss of control over these territories.
In fact, this is done for the purpose of -
a) guarantee that elections to local self-government bodies in the above-mentioned areas will not be held within the framework of the Minsk algorithm, so as not to give representatives of the self-proclaimed republics a chance of legitimization.
b) form a regulatory basis for long-term coexistence with the “Zone”.
In fact, with this law Ukraine does not take a step towards the return of Donbass, not at all, with this law Ukraine begins to learn to live without Donbass.
What is the basis for these actions?
Apparently, at the heart of everything is the awareness of the impossibility of a military solution to the problem.
The second most important basis for this position is the understanding of the fact that the return of the “Zone” to the electoral field of Ukraine will destroy the electoral picture, comfortable for the current government, of the significant advantage of the “Orangeists” over their opponents.
Well, daddy Barak will praise him, so what,” Pavliv states.
“There remains a ghostly hope for European intervention, but just that, ghostly.
