Russia is weeks, perhaps days, away from consolidating the Donbas. An area larger than the UK and one of their primary objectives.
> Currently Russia has only managed to weaken and isolate itself.
Russia is coming out of this with multiple new trade partnerships, financial payment integrations and military alliances.
- MrRiddle 4y agoPeople don’t realize Donbas is Ukraine’s last real line of defense and their only stronghold. After it falls, and it will soon, it’s a matter of siege and patience. Ability to counterattack will be completely removed.
- cpursley 4y agoAfter Donbas falls, if history is any lesson - the political situation in Ukraine will implode quickly. We might see a military coup and whoever takes over come to an agreement with Russia.
