The Donbas consists of Lugansk and Donetsk circuits. Currently, Russian troops control almost the entire Lugansk region and about two -thirds of the Donetsk region.
Zelanski also emphasized that Russia would not be able to take the summary region in the northeast of Ukraine, because it will not be able to maintain those border areas that they currently control. – In today's realities it is a matter of time. A few months and they won't be there – he added.
– I also think that in the future (…) they will not get the Kharkiv region. And when it comes to the Mikołajów region, where we would allegedly give them a cinema spit …, they only need it to block access to the sea – noted the President of Ukraine.
