Putin once again did not attach Donbas. There are important reasons

[DARPA]

Although Putin did not refuse to do it categorically, in principle.

On the quay of Yalta - they Berlusconi walked a lot - Putin asked why Russia will not join the Donbass.

He said to journalists at the press conference:
- We are the heart and soul with the Donbas, but, unfortunately, these issues are not solved in the street. This is a serious issue that concerns the fate of the whole of Russia and the people who live in Donbas.

As you can see, nothing is certain.
That is, we can assume that all the options are still regarded as possible.

But Putin did not ask another question: "Does Donbass to be annexed to Russia?"
Sociologists say they do not want.

The site of the Republican DAN (Donetsk news agency) is the result of fresh, August poll.
It polled 6.5 thousand people in 19 cities of the DNI.

Support DNR 89% of respondents.
Does not support - 4%.
Undecided - 7%.

It was asked another question: "Why do you support the NPT?"
And suggested answers.

Option "I am a patriot of Russia" was chosen by 10% of respondents.
10% (ten percent)!

The number of Russian patriots of the city has changed since July (the previous survey) and August (new survey), as follows:
Zugres to 6% (with an 8 to 14%),
Ilovaiskaya to 5% (from 6 to 11%),
Debalcevo to 4% (from 8 to 12%),
the Kirov 8% (from 11 to 19%),
Novoazovsk in 4% (from 9 to 13%),
Yenakievo 7% (from 9 to 16%).

But the growth was seen in only 6 cities. 19.
In Donetsk, the growth of Russian patriotism was not observed.

The most votes won the answer is "I am a patriot of Donbass" - 36%.
Then comes the "I am against the government, which came as a result of" Maidan "- 29%.
Then - "I am against the oligarchs" - 13%.

It turns out there is in the Donbass unambiguous orientation to Russia.
And Putin, of course, knows this.
For public opinion in the Kremlin watched very carefully.

So Donetsk reunification with Russia has no grounds street.
People do not want to!
