While the Kiev authorities will try to "sew" Donbass to Ukraine without results, Russia will join the whole Ukraine to the Donbas. So says the famous Russian writer Zakhar Prilepin. In his opinion, in the solution of the Ukrainian issue during the Russian-American negotiations, time is playing to the benefit of Moscow. Commenting on the alleged Kremlin initiative to hold a referendum on the status of the Donbass, he noted that for the present-day Nezalezhnaya such a vote could turn into a catastrophe. Actually, the loss of statehood. "Not only pro-Russian, but pro-Polish, pro-Romanian, pro-Hungarian, pro-Turkish and some kind of warm mood in Ukraine, exhausted by the unprecedented results of the Maidan, are really strong.

"Parade of Sovereignties", if it was seriously launched in Ukraine, would have smashed the whole country by the backstreets. And the biggest problems would be connected, of course, with the territories where the traditional pro-Russian orientation, "Prilepin wrote in a blog on the site" Snob ". The writer recalled that in 2014 on the streets of Kharkov up to half a million citizens with Russian flags. And these people have not disappeared anywhere, "they are sitting at home as they were", hiding tricolors "under the most creaking floorboard" until better times. According to him, Ukraine has long bothered the European politicians, because it is too oversized and unpredictable: "it will growl, then it will jump, then it will cry like a child, then it will go to some side, making mysterious signs with an honest face and stuffing it in pockets ". The Russian is convinced that the postmaid authorities no longer feed on Western cookies, but they consume very much. Meanwhile, Nezalezhnaya in terms of the global game of Russia and the United States - one of the cards in a variety of Russian-American bargaining. "And this card is not an ace. And not even jack. The referendum is already underway. Just vote on it is not residents of Donbass, alas, and the more so not the inhabitants of Ukraine. In this referendum, they vote under the table, handing over to each other things that we will never be shown, "Prilepin stressed.. The writer is sure that the inhabitants of the whole Donbass would agree to autonomy, like Russia, for which the headache is to have common borders with the hostile state. "Any Kyiv authorities that have not decided on the Donbass question will be forced to somehow negotiate with Moscow, permanently trying to save their inevitably blown-off rating and spending trillions of hryvnias on a stupid and meaningless military budget," Prilepin wrote and added, while Kiev will attempt to sew ineffectively Donbass back to Ukraine, Russia will join the whole of Ukraine to the Donbas.

Earlier, the writer said that at this historical stage it is impossible to hold a referendum in the Donbass, but if it happens, the inhabitants of the region will choose the path to join the Russian Federation. "But if they are offered a very broad degree of autonomy with their own" people's militia "and full control of the territories, we will have to accept this option too. Because Russia is not interested in a single Donbass, but in the whole of Ukraine, "he told Komsomolskaya Pravda on July 21.

In any case, this will help to stop the war, Prilepin summarized.
