Great news. Ukraine will eventually be forced to make a deal with the Russian Federation to end the war. The Kiev regime must accept the fact that the breakaway region of the Donbass, made up of the Lugansk Peoples' Republic and the Donetsk Peoples' Republic will never be part of Ukraine again. Victoria Nuland made a serious miscalculation when she planned the overthrow of the duly elected President, Viktor Yanukovich. She never expected the setback of an entire region to breakaway from mainland Ukraine. So to her dismay, NO missile bases on Russia's border in that region.
