Thread: Future of Eastern Ukraine? / Будущее Восточной Украины?

The area will descend into chaos. I consider this outcome quite real because that was the main goal of the powers which had started it all. A new politically unstable, dangerous region right under the borders of geopolitical enemies. The conflicts will go on, spreading hatred and poverty, making a good soil for various extremist organizations. Once again, the US will become the safest place in the world. By the price of safety in any other places.
Yet, I still hope we could solve that problem.

The only winner in this outcome would be USA. Russia's best interest is to bring stability to the region as far as possible. I doubt that Russia can do that alone though without cooperation with sane Ukrainian politics (is there left any?) and European Union.
