“It’s a very serious issue in general, and the important questions are whether Ukraine wants to return Donbas, and whether the Donbas people want to be a part of Ukraine. This cannot be resolved in a year, and in my opinion won’t happen in the near future.”
Liudmila Tereshchenko, babysitter
“It would be great for Ukraine to regain control of the Donbas, and I think it is even possible to do it this year, but this depends very much on our government.”
Yana Lisovyna, translation student
“We need an adequate government in order for Donbas to return to Ukraine. Only if people at the top positions of our government change their attitude to work things will change.”
Yaroslav Shurma, economics student
“As far as I know it will be impossible to do physically or by implementing economic blockades. But if there is an agreement between the United States, the European Union and Russia, and Russia sticks to it, then it would only take a couple of months.”
