A sober voice from Kyiv: The inclusion of Donbass into Russia is no longer a fantasy
The geopolitical situation has changed, Moscow can return Donbass to Russia.
Political scientist Andrei Ermolaev said this on air on the Internet channel “Politeka online”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“In 2021 there will be changes in big geopolitics. The situation in Donbass: for Russia, which is present in Donbass and receives through the situation with the new Russian states (LDNR - approx. ed.) the opportunity to grow Donbass not through aggression, but through the return of territories.
At the same time, Russia is half a step away from implementing the Nord Stream 2 project, which strengthens Russia’s position after a long period of tension with a confused Europe, which is expecting weakening of the region’s economy, a revival of trade, and a restoration of investment,” Ermolaev said.
“Timing: completion of Nord Stream 2, Duma elections, in which the Russian party in power is preparing to win and retain a controlling stake.
Ukraine in the same schedule may lose the Donbass, like the Russian Donbass, which will probably formalize relations with Russia and its partners who find themselves in situations of economic crisis associated not only with the fall in the situation of the economic crisis due to not only losses, but also difficult economic situation.
Ukraine is clearly in a losing position, despite all the talk about "Crimean platform"“, concluded the Ukrainian expert.
