This Illarionov told in an interview with " Gordon ."

He noted that in Ukraine are occupied by two large regions, but if one of them Donbas Ukrainian authorities have occasionally reminded that otherwise, the Crimea, do not say anything.

"Crimea is not in Minsk-1 in Minsk or 2 or in the Geneva Agreement of 17 April 2014" - indicates Illarionov.

He argues that the West remembers the Crimea often than the Ukrainian government, so from this point of view, Ukraine has not won.
In addition, Illarionov said that the country is in serious economic crisis three years.

"Today, real GDP 16 percent lower, and the dollar fell by half compared with the same period three years ago. Cash income and living standards have fallen", - said Russian economist, saying that in this sense, Ukraine is also not won.

According to him, it will win only if GDP will grow by 10-12 percent annually at least 20 years. "It will be the first sign that there is something to be proud" - said Illarionov.

In step of isolation: in Putin noted deterioration

Russian political scientist, professor MGIMO Valery Solovey said that although President Vladimir Putin remains one of the most influential world leaders, he also is almost "the most dangerous man in the world", and this reputation does not cause desire to build long-term relationships with them, but rather stimulates the confrontation and isolation.

This was the Russian resource Znak.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 23 May. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine Survives Without Coal From Russia-Controlled Donbas

Ukraine Survives Without Coal From Russia-Controlled Donbas

In spite of a blockade on shipments of anthracite coal from occupied Donbas to Ukrainian thermal power plants (TPPs) since this past winter, the country has thus far avoided blackouts. Moreover, Ukraine has managed to increase power generation by 2.1 percent year over year in January–April (Interfax-Ukraine, May 13). This was mainly thanks to heavy reliance on nuclear energy, but warm weather and lower consumption by industry also helped. Ahead of the next heating season, which kicks off in October, Ukraine is going to replace Donbas-sourced anthracite with imported coal, while also converting its thermal power plants to use alternative fuels.

Ukrainian nationalists began to block roads leading into the Moscow-backed so-called Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” (DPR, LPR) at the end of January, protesting against what they saw as profiteering from the war by Ukrainian tycoon Rinat Akhmetov at consumers’ expense (see EDM, February 24, 28). They claimed that the government agreed to pay for coal extracted at Akhmetov’s mines, located in the Russia-controlled areas, according to the so-called Rotterdam-plus formula, so it was as expensive as if it were shipped from the Netherlands (Zn.ua, February 17). Because of the blockade, Ukrainian TPPs were left without anthracite from the DPR and LPR territories, and the government warned in February that almost a third of Ukraine would face blackouts by April. Still, the protests gained momentum, and in March Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko banned all cargo traffic with the occupied eastern territories. As a result, five out of the six Ukrainian TPPs that used to burn anthracite stopped operations in April (see EDM, March 29).

But even with many of its TPPs offline, Ukraine was not plunged into blackouts, thanks to a combination of factors. February and March were unusually warm, so less coal was used for heating. Industry also consumed less power because the Donbas blockade not only affected power generation, but also subdued output in metallurgy and the engineering industry. For example, after growth last year and in January, metal production plunged year on year by 4.3 percent in February and by 2.2 percent in March (Ukrstat.gov.ua, accessed on May 16). Also, thermal power was partially replaced with nuclear power, so the share of nuclear plants in power generation jumped from 52 percent in 2016 to 57 percent in January–April (Interfax, May 15). However, Ukraine cannot continue to heavily rely on nuclear reactors, as it will be necessary to shut them down for scheduled maintenance later in the year. Meanwhile, domestic power consumption is likely to grow, as the economy continues to expand......................
