Donetsk Oblast spans 26,517 square kilometres. (For comparison: Maryland covers 25,142 sq. k.; Wales encompasses 20,789 sq. k.; and Vancouver Island: 31,285.)
In 2014 Donetsk separatists joined their northern comrades in Luhansk Oblast in declaring independence from Kyiv. The ensuing 5-month war yielded a 450-kilometre "Line of Contact" severing western Donetsk Oblast from its capitol. Ukraine's army held western Donetsk at the current war's outset, February 24, 2022.
Prior to February 24 both Ukraine and Russia poured troops and equipment into this theatre. Ukraine positioned half its 200,000-strong ground force along this eastern front.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.

And I thought all these "Eastern Regions" were pro-Russian?

Thank you, As we all know and see daily there is still is no truth being spoken in our propaganda WEF woke run media, I have been listening to WION from India they at least have been reporting on both sides of the story. As terrible and horrible war is both sides have a real story to why they are fighting and killing each other and any one else who gets in the way sadly.
If Pres. Trump was still where he should be and our MSM reported on the real fair truth we all know He would have tried hard to negotiate this truthfully at least. I pray for them all daily and hope things will come to the sad conclusion of all wars or special operations. These illegal mines that Ukraine blames on Russia have already been shown to be their own.

It would have been easy for the Ukrainian government to offer the Luhansk and Donetsk population a referendum, whether they rather stay Ukrainian or want to join Russia or become independent. That would have been in the interest of all. Nobody except power crazy authoritarians would want to lord over an unwilling population. But then, that would mean there is no money in it for the military industrial complex and the crooked politicians they employ. And the oligarchs are interested in siphoning their riches from the industrial areas of those two provinces. Well, us ordinary guys, as usual, have no say in these matters.
