“Russia’s trying to play, and to deliberately provoke the situation, retaining the presence, trying to create Donbass a cross between a colony and a protectorate, and then just to legitimize this situation. I believe that this law should have been taken long ago, as in the case of Crimea we have a classic example of occupation. In the case of the Donbas – a mixture of classic occupation, as there are Russian regular troops, and hybrid – that Russian mercenaries and weapons, and the real control of the entire occupied territory of Russia”, – said Klimkin.
