Who should take responsibility for the breakaway regions of east Ukraine which are under the control of Russian-backed militants?

Russia says it should be Ukraine - but Ukraine is no longer paying salaries or pensions to people living in those areas. Here on the Press Review, we'll look into this issue a little deeper with the help of Anna Nemtsova writing in the Daily Beast.

Nemtsova has been to the insurgent stronghold of Donetsk to try to better understand the attitudes of the authorities there and of everyday citizens to the question of to which country, if any they belong.

Nemtsova writes, "In their ideal reality, the Donetsk separatists would keep all their weapons and power, receive financial support from Russia and do business with the Ukraine. But in the real reality people living in rebel-controlled territories are suffering for lack of medicine, waiting months expecting Moscow to pay their pensions and salaries and even to deliver groceries and consumer goods."

Nemtsova believes that whatever strategy the Kremlin had in relation to the breakaway regions of Ukraine, it has gone wrong.

Nemtsova writes, "Was Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategy to back the breakaway republics, while expecting Ukraine to pay the pensions and other bills? If so, he miscalculated. Ukraine stopped paying salaries and pensions to the breakaway republics last summer and today the economy, political scandals and internal conflicts have become the Kremlin's headache."

Nemtsova then turns the lens back on to Russia itself and says that funding for the occupied regions of Ukraine is going to be a difficult task.

Nemtsova tells us, "In fact, Russia does not have enough money left to feed itself: on Wednesday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev admitted that there was no money left in Russia's budget to support 94 so-called "crisis cities" dependent on single industries; about 19 million Russians live in these one-factory towns now without support programs."

So with Russia struggling to make ends meet within its own borders, prospects in Ukraine's breakaway regions for financial stimulus from the Kremlin seem slim........

He noted that the objective of Russia's war against Ukraine - not the creation of so-called "New Russia".

"The aim was to prevent the Western influence in Ukraine. There are thoughts that the West can" give "the western part of Ukraine. Moscow is circulating for a long time, and I have heard this more than once," - said Felgenhauer.

In an interview with "apostrophe" said Russian military expert Pavel Felgenhauer.

"We're not going to fight right now. We are preparing for the 25th or 30th year. That is happening now is absolutely not the time. We were caught when we are totally unprepared. Here the Americans were able to get ahead of us, causing great anger leadership of the country ", - he said.

"For the first time publicly about this in February 2013 said the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Gerasimov. He said that to be a great World War II. The global conflict. The so-called resource war. That somewhere after 2025 or 2030 world total disaster happens, will terrible lack of natural resources: oil, gas, water, everything. In this connection, will start world war or a series of regional military, in which countries and people will fight for resources.

To keep the Americans, they have just as aggressive act against us.

Was unsuccessful project "New Russia" , involving the seizure of Russian east and south of Ukraine, has been associated with Vladimir Putin voiced the idea that Ukraine will fall apart into two parts. At the same time, the strategic goal of the Kremlin - not a "New Russia", and the new division of the world. In an interview with "apostrophe" said Russian military expert Pavel Felgenhauer.

About "New Russia":

"Putin has received various proposals. He argued that Ukraine will fall apart into two halves. And if one half wants" to go to the West ", the other exactly the rebel and wants" to go to the East. "The dividing line was to be held somewhere on the Dnieper. And on one of those halves can build a "New Russia".

The children were given a try. Something they did not really work out. But the goal, in fact, not the case. Not to build a separate "New Russia". The aim was to prevent the Western influence in Ukraine. Any idea that the West can "give" the western part of Ukraine. In Moscow it is circulated for a long time, and I have heard this many times. It is the idea that "we do not need Western Ukraine." What are they - not Russian and wrong. "Let the West takes them."

On the strategic plans of Putin:

"The idea is a" new Yalta "Yalta-2 (the first Yalta conference took place in 1945 and was devoted to the structure of the world after the Second World War -" apostrophe "). And as Putin recently changed its position and declared the Molotov helpful Ribbentrop Pact (signed by the USSR and Nazi Germany in 1939 - "apostrophe"), it can be said that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is 2. That is, in Moscow would very much like the West to sit down, put on a map and start to share ".
