Ukrainian MP called for giving Donetsk and Lugansk to Putin for a while
Kyiv, February 04 (PolitNavigator, Maxim Karpenko) - Ukraine has minimal chances of keeping Donbass in its composition and now it faces a choice: “a civilized divorce or a war for years.” The people's deputy, who is called the “master of Transcarpathia,” oligarch Viktor Baloha, announced this on his page on the social network.

According to him, continuing the war in Donbass will finish off the country’s economy. Therefore, the only solution to exit the crisis is diplomacy and a referendum on the status of Donbass.
“If the people are ready for this, then we are fighting. If not, we will decide in a referendum; the occupied territories are not part of Ukraine, Putin will not give them back to us, like damaged goods. But strategically, we can preserve the state, strengthen the economy, build strength and carry out reforms. Time will pass, I am sure, and Crimea will change its attitude towards Ukraine, and Donbass will sober up and ask to come back to us. You won't have to wait long. But this will be a different story, a different nation, different people. Another Ukraine is a strong, powerful, developed state, which we still have a chance to build,” assures Baloga.
The day before, Baloga stated that fighters from his native Transcarpathia, drafted into the Ukrainian army, were under threat of encirclement in the Donbass. According to Baloga, if official Kyiv does not take measures to save the soldiers, this will cause unrest among relatives in Transcarpathia.
