2/14/2015 Aleksandr Zakharchenko on Minsk-2 Translated from Russian by J.Hawk "I said in Minsk and am saying right now that the DPR territory includes the entire Donetsk Region. If our demands for a de-facto independence are not met, we shall claim the entire Donetsk Region. How we will obtain it does not matter to us. If we can't do it through the political process, we have already shown that we can do it through other means." J.Hawk's Comment: Note that Zakharchenko is talking about a "de-facto" independence, which takes a fair amount of pressure off Poroshenko, because all Ukraine's president need to do is simply leave Novorossia alone while continuing to engage in belligerent rhetoric. Zakharchenko is also re-emphasizing This Is It. Either Minsk-2 sticks, or there isn't going to be a Minsk-3. These are not empty words-Novorossia's army has been toying with the UAF so as to allow Poroshenko a face-saving way out. It is obvious enough which side has the advantage and initiative on the battlefield. The battle for Logvinovo was one that the UAF simply could not afford to lose, and they threw the best they had (they also threw Semenchenko, but that's another matter) at Novorossia's forces there and...lost. Once the attempt to relieve the Debaltsevo pocket had failed, it became abundantly clear who can dictate facts on the ground. Should Poroshenko fail to act in a responsible fashion yet again, he will not be given a face-saving way out the next time. Videos: 1 year ago....
