Those separatist areas are always going to be a thorn in the side of Ukraine anyway.... might be time to redraw lines...
Considering people living in those “separatist” regions report life is similar to living in a gulag due to Russkies persecuting anyone who thinks wrong thoughts, if those areas were demilitarized, I have a hard time believing they’d vote to be part of Russia or separate from Ukraine.
The coup in Kiev should be happy with what they grabbed, and call it a day. People in the east and Crimea didn’t support the coup and by the same right as the coup, they grabbed their own areas.
