The whereabouts of national leaders has always attracted international attention, especially the Donbas region is a sensitive area where Russia and Ukraine are fighting. The current war is very anxious. Putin is going to this area at this moment, which makes people speculate about the development of the situation between Russia and Ukraine. .
The Donbas region can be said to be the starting point of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In February of this year, when NATO wanted to expand eastward, Ukraine wanted to join NATO, and Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas region wanted to pursue independence, and Putin announced the recognition of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” and the “Luhansk People’s Republic”. Gansk People’s Republic” is an independent country, which in turn ignited the war between Russia and Ukraine. Later, four places including Donbass voted to join the Russian Federation, but the United Nations did not approve it.
The people of Donbass have a natural sense of identity and belonging to Russia. Putin has repeatedly sought peace talks with Zelensky, but has been rebuffed. This time Putin will step into the Donbas region, which may show his confidence in the region, which is a bit like swearing sovereignty. And Zelensky may feel an unprecedented feeling of being provoked, and is more likely to launch a new round of fierce counterattacks against Russia.
