At least we can stop the whole argument that Russian regular troops are in Donbas ... yes, they are in Donbas now, officially and Russian military can save some cash scrubbing their old ID marks off armor.
And Minsk agreement ... I guess that's mute point now
So real question what will happen on the border? There has been no conflict that I know of between Ukraine and Crimea, i.e. no shelling, no sniper wars. How will this change?
So at this point, the recognized "republics" may request military aid as first order of business, i.e. Russia may place bases there as well as nukes whatever.
This is my favorite: head of DNR is Denis Pushilin which if you are dislexic could be written as Penis Dushilin ... i.e. dick "chocker" in Russian ... just a bit of humor in otherwise somber times.
