The conflict in Donbas remains a focal point of international attention in 2025. The US peace plan proposes that Russia will control parts of Donbas in exchange for rent payments to Ukraine. This plan has sparked discussions about Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to resist, with operations like the DIU's "Prymary" targeting occupiers' air defenses. Public sentiment leans against the "peace plan," as polls indicate 75% of Ukrainians reject any concessions leading to troop withdrawal from Donbas. President Zelenskyy highlights the strategic importance of Donbas, emphasizing the need to prevent full Russian occupation. Amidst this, social issues like water scarcity in occupied areas highlight the humanitarian challenges faced by residents. As military engagements continue, the geopolitical landscape remains complex and dynamic.

What is the US peace plan for Donbas and its implications?

The US peace plan involves Russia maintaining control over parts of Donbas while compensating Ukraine through rent payments. This proposal is contentious as it involves significant territorial concessions and raises questions about Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The plan has been met with resistance from Ukraine's leadership and the public, signaling potential geopolitical and diplomatic challenges in its implementation.

How has Ukraine reacted to the latest developments in Donbas?

Ukraine has responded assertively to developments in Donbas, conducting military operations against occupiers, exemplified by the DIU's "Prymary" unit targeting air defenses. President Zelenskyy has been vocal about resisting territorial concessions, emphasizing the strategic and symbolic importance of Donbas in the broader conflict with Russia. The Ukrainian public also largely opposes plans that involve ceding control of Donbas to Russia.

What are the humanitarian conditions in Donbas amid the conflict?

The humanitarian situation in Donbas is dire, with residents facing significant challenges, including limited access to basic necessities like water. Reports of elderly individuals resorting to extreme measures to obtain water underline the severity of the crisis. These conditions are exacerbated by ongoing military activities and the strained political situation, affecting the daily lives of those in the region.

What is the current military situation in Donbas in 2025?

The military situation in Donbas remains fluid and contested. Ukrainian forces have engaged in operations to dismantle enemy defenses, while strategic attempts to prevent further Russian encroachment are ongoing. Ukrainian leaders, notably President Zelenskyy, underscore the necessity of maintaining control over Donbas to deter Russian advances and preserve the country's territorial integrity amidst ongoing hostilities.

How does public opinion in Ukraine view the conflict in Donbas?

Public opinion in Ukraine regarding the conflict in Donbas is predominantly against any peace plan that involves ceding territory to Russia. Approximately 75% of Ukrainians are reported to oppose initiatives that would result in troop withdrawals from Donbas, reflecting a strong nationalist sentiment and the prioritization of national integrity over potentially contentious peace agreements that compromise Ukraine's territorial claims.
