    You’ve completely lost me. I have no idea what you’re talking about. You may be confusing me with someone else. I’ve not made any claims about Donbas being a separate country. I don’t think it works like that. And I’ll have to check the details but I the Minsk agreements may have spoken of autonomous regions rather than separate countries.

    The linked UN report(s) detail how so many thousands of people were killed in Eastern Ukraine in the years following 2014. Whether whatever happened afterwards changes or leaves unaffected the legal status of those regions, the fact remains that five digits of people were killed, with many more injured, and seven digits of people were displaced. And completely regardless of what Russian, Ukrainian, or Separatist government officials or actors were doing, the affected people were overwhelmingly innocent civilians just trying to go about their daily lives. Killing them indiscriminately is both (a) an historical fact and (b) wrong.
