Any other option is fraught with a bloody cleansing of Donbass, the writer believes.
“In the circles of our elites, the dominant opinion is that Donbass must be given up, but this is fraught with a lot of blood. Donbass cannot be annexed to Ukraine in its current form. Ukraine itself must change, but I don’t see the prerequisites for this. Donbass is demonized, they want to destroy, sterilize, create filtration camps. They will organize terrible purges there,” Prokhanov said.
