Ukraine will have to defend not only against aggression, but from the return of the occupied territories in Moscow
The presidents of Ukraine and France, as well as Federal Chancellor of Germany called for the prompt holding of the tripartite meeting of the contact group on war. About the possibility of new negotiations about the final termination of the war in the Donbass said the previous week, but the date of the meeting postponed indefinitely. Negotiations were not ready members of the so-called “people's republics”, although it is quite clear that without the recommendations of the Kremlin, they would not have taken this decision.
About the reasons of the refusal of the leaders of the DND and LNR can only guess. But one of them lies on the surface - Russian puppets would like to exchange cross-border stability on the renewal of the Ukrainian payments. There is special logic: representatives of structures, declaring their independence from Ukraine and claiming that in Ukraine they will not return, however, require the actual preservation of the Ukrainian jurisdiction over the occupied territories. By the way, following the same path and leaders occupied the Crimea, initiated the continuation of the “transition period” for annexed Putin autonomy. But on the other hand - what else exit for managers DND and LNR, if Russia wants to subsidize only the war and does not give money to the world?
Ukraine, as far as we can understand our position, a completely different approach. But it is clear that the Ukrainian negotiators simply no authority to decide questions of salaries and pensions for the Ukrainian government. Moreover, in the Minsk agreements clearly stated on the conditions of funding is the functioning of the region under Ukrainian control. And it is these points of agreements were thwarted by the separatists who refused to conduct local elections, but staged elections of heads of republics” and “parliaments” of the occupied territories. So, by and large, the Ukrainian government may declare their interest in further negotiations, but actually to talk about: Kiev is now in a position to enforce peace and is not required of this position quickly leave.
As for Russia, its purpose is obvious. Putin is not necessary escalation, but he does not need resolution. For the Russian President is now more important than just maintaining the status quo, because he believes that occupied Donbass is the lever with which he can put pressure on Ukraine and to bleed it. Actually if the line of demarcation will be peace, and the terrorists would focus on eating each other, no special problems for development of Ukraine occupied part of Donbass will not be present.
The problem will arise later - and perhaps this consist complexity, we gradually prepares Putin. The longer will exist DND and LNR, the greater will become the civilizational gap between this territory and the rest of Ukraine. In order to verify this, it suffices to compare the life in Moldova and frozen in the Soviet times immemorial Transnistria. Or compare Georgia with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Even Karabakh differs not only from Azerbaijan, but also from Armenia. Armenia is a country. As Karabakh - the Outpost.
Imagine the return of the occupied Donbass, the residents of which will be only those who have nowhere to go - Oh and supporters of the “people's republics”. We get critical of other communities, and if at that time will begin and carry out some reforms, this population will not accept the change. And it's not even that the population will vote for the opposition blocks. But the fact that he and the Opposition bloc” will become a traitor-soglashenie, it will support the party “the originality of the Donbass”, reminiscent of how Ukrainian junta was bombed and starved employment region - which by that time would have no place to work.
Of these situations, as shown by the latest political experience, there are two exits - Croatian and Bosnian. Croatian means supporting separatist hearth population just goes to the country - sponsor of separatism. Don't even need to explain that such an option for Ukraine is not feasible even from the point of view of humanism, but because the conflict between Croats and Serbs was not only political, but also the ethnic and religious, and the conflict between Ukrainians and supporters DND - civilizational conflict. And the rules of civilization to which we aspire, preclude such an approach.
Putin knows it. Therefore, and wants - by the way, from the first day of the conflict - impose Bosnia with its several States under one roof. Bosnia is a real dead end, then what you need to Putin. It is important all by hook or by crook to drive us into this trap. And it is important not there to get. And be aware of the difficulties attaching Donbas and in what the problem really starts when you get back - and he'll be back, not going anywhere - Crimea. Then Ukraine will have four of their “Republic of Srpska” - DND, LNR, Crimea and Sevastopol - and each will live our nubienne the Soviet past.
Today we need to defend themselves from the Russian aggression, and from getting that past in our future.
