Its a positive step in the right direction. Kiev is finally realizing the country needs to move in the direction of federalism - with full autonomy for ALL the country’s regions, guarantees of language equality and full guarantee of minority rights.
The situation cannot be resolved through the use of force but ultimately through political dialogue. The country is waiting for clear answers from Kiev on these questions. Crimea is already lost but the rest of the country can be preserved. The only way out is if all the ethnic and political forces in Ukraine unite. This is in every one’s interests.
Yugoslavia had Federalism as well, it didn’t save it.
