The results are going to be recognized by Russia. After all, state sovereignty is the clear wish of the people of Donbass and this fully opens the door for Russia to help them. All in accordance with President Putin’s March declaration. And Russia has not had to invade Ukraine!
The Maidan regime and the West has been outmaneuvered by the rebels in Donetsk and Lugansk and the person in the catbird seat today is President Putin. He has plenty of options now going foward. He is the big winner today.
Honestly, I never thought I would see the day when folks on this forum would find 94 and 98% election returns to be a big feather in a 15 year invading dictator’s cap.
