Nobody cares about Donetsk. Ukrainians don’t want it and neither does Russia.
“” “” Nobody cares about Donetsk. Ukrainians don’t want it and neither does Russia.”” “”
That is largely true but it is not important. The important is an extreme stupidity of population. The protests are pulled by the former president Poroshenko taunting Zelensky a surrender monkey.
A problem is the troops pullout and elections in Donetsk is an implementation of Minsk agreement and Steinmayer formula agreed by Poroshenko himself with Germany.
He praised the agreement as his diplomatic achievement at the time then failed to implement and now this.
All his speeches from that time are on internet it this era but dimwit Nazis are still listening to him.
Why do you say that? My understanding is the Donetsk is heavily industrialized and contains valuable Industries and thereby, a significant GDP.
