It's also consistent with the otherwise weird actions of the Russian army near Kiev, namely the abandonment of tons of military vehicles and equipment, all while steering clear of the Eastern cities.
The Russians are destroying infrastructure in the Western half, leaving guns and ammo (as is the EU) to make the place a warlord's paradise for the next decade, so that the Ukrainian army proper will be completely disabled from acting against the now Russia-controlled Eastern half. Donetsk and Lugansk join Crimea as Russian vassal republics, while what's left of Ukraine joins the EU, but is otherwise defanged as a nation state.
I'll ponder this some more, a few details still don't fit that puzzle. In the meantime, nice catch.
Yeah I think that this is essentially what everyone has already agreed to being the scenes. Soon they'll be fine the ultimate: continue existing government on West side or be replaced.
Now that's interesting.
