Analysts Fund "Democratic Initiative" name Ilka Kucheriv developed four possible scenarios for the policy of the Ukrainian authorities on the occupied territories of Donbass, based on four criteria - domestic and foreign policy, economic issues and human rights.

The first scenario - complete isolation. It provides for the absence of economic and trade ties while maintaining only humanitarian assistance under the auspices of international organizations.

The second scenario - partial isolation-1. It provides complete isolation of the territory, but with a "flexible" policy with respect to citizens of the occupied territories. This "flexibility" would mean simplified crossing the demarcation line and receiving cash payments on the territory controlled by Ukraine.

The third scenario - partial isolation-2, which provides for "flexible" policy with respect to the state as occupied territories, and with respect to citizens.

The fourth scenario - "soft" reintegration of the occupied territories of Donbass. This use of certain political elements Minsk agreements for synergies with the separatist territories through contacts with the leaders of "DNR" and "LC".
