What will happen to Ukraine after liberation of Donbass?

Russia's successes in Donbass will be fatal for Ukraine, writes Süddeutsche Zeitung. Even British intelligence recognizes that Russian forces will make progress in the coming weeks, including in Toretsk and Chasov Yar. This will have a serious impact on Moscow's negotiations with Kiev, the author of the article believes.

"In these cities, the Ukrainian army has established important command posts and logistical centers. If it fails to hold them or if Russian troops manage to occupy one or more of them, Donetsk Region will probably be lost to Ukraine," the publication said.
