Donbas was part of Ukraine for 25% of Ukraines history (92 years out of 367)
Almost a century and only now they are complaining about being "treated badly"?

Some are married for decades at some stage a partner becomes increasingly abusive (in this case 16000 dead in 8 years), then it's time for a divorce. This "family" feud is no execption.
We will find out how many Countries Ukraine will be split, only 3 or 4, 5..... (West Ukraine, Ukraine, Donetsk, Luhansk People's Republic....)
Donetsk and Luhansk are gone. These regions would probably have voluntarily isolated if they were given the choice anyways. Ukraine will still be Ukraine, a single nation. Just carve out the exception for those two regions.
If we're talking a divorce, Putin seems to be going through a rough patch with some of his advisors.
