Terrorist and former "people's governor of Donbas," Pavel Gubarev, confirmed that the so-called "uprising" in Ukraine's Donbas in 2014 was entirely funded and coordinated by Moscow and carried out with Russia's military involvement.

I’m Ukrainian from Donbas.

So when someone online
Explains to me that Donbas
“Was always russian”
I remember one inconvenient little number:

83.9%.

That’s how many voters in Donetsk region
Supported ukrainian independence in 1991.

⚡️Ukraine will not give Donbas to Russia: “Our position remains unchanged,” — Zelensky.

russian propaganda struggles to explain.

Born in Donbas.
Raised russian-speaking.

And absolutely certain
my country is Ukraine🇺🇦

They said that about Donbas in eastern Ukraine, too.

This is how they "liberated" the mostly russian-speaking population of Donbas: picture from Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Nothing strange, just Russian soldiers in Donbas

‼️ Russia will not be able to capture Donbas before August 2027, — ISW

Giving Russia the rest of the Ukrainian Donbas would be a strategic mistake, wrote the American Institute for the Study of War, arguing that it would take the Russian army at least 18 months to achieve this by force.

My favorite russian argument is:
“But Donbas wanted russia”
Hi. I’m Donbas.
Nobody asked me.

No problem bro, the deposits are in Donbas, but you gotta de-occupy it first

The frontlines in Donbas are strategically the same for 2yrs now. Ru can’t conquer it. If Ru truly cared about control of Donbas only, it would have proposed “land for peace” 2yrs ago. “We just want Donbas” is the new version of “we just want Crimea” and it’s the exact same bald-faced lie.

Axios: Zelensky said the Ukrainian people would not accept a peace agreement requiring Ukraine to unilaterally pull out of the eastern Donbas region and cede it to Russia. Zelensky dismissed Russia's territorial claims over Donbas.

Above: Russian official and unofficial propagandists say they are protecting the people of Russia's Donbas.

Below: Kramatorsk, Donbas. A Russian attack on the city yesterday.

All Russia ever brought to Donbas was suffering and destruction.

Donbas, February 2023. Things were grim. Ukraine stood firm.
February 2025. Stand firm 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Russian "liberation" of Donetsk and Donbas - no water, no help from the local "authorities".

Russia says it wants to "protect" the people of Donbas. But in fact, it destroys Donbas, drains it out (literally and figuratively).

❗️Putin will not stop if he gets Donbas, and the next attempt will be to seize the regional centers - Dnipro and Kharkiv, - Zelensky

"Some Americans believe that Donbas means nothing to us. They do not want to admit that Putin will lie to them and that he can continue occupation after such steps."

There is a strange misconception in the U.S. government that the war in Ukraine is about the territory of Donbas. They believe it because... putin said so? They just cant stop repeating nonsense about giving up Donbas, right?

It is not a war for Donbas. It is a war to destroy Ukraine as a state,

Zelensky arrived in Donbas and visited Druzhkivka, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.
