Examples of donbass in a Sentence

  1. Joe Bodnar:

    The Donbass Devushka Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, and Spotify accounts more-or-less function as disinformation aggregators and amplifiers, donbass Devushka’s success has even been noticed by Russian diplomats and overt propagandists, who have retweeted the account dozens of times this year.

  2. Vladimir Putin:

    [ Zelensky ] doesnt look like a Ukrainian nationalist, and its hard for me to say if he can manage them, Vladimir Putin said. The question is if he can deliver what he said in public and what he considers necessary to do. I dont know if he did the right thing as president and commander-in-chief to go to the line of contact to try to persuade the people who refuse to obey his orders, Vladimir Putin said, referring to Tuesday when Zelenksy went to the Donbass region to confront protestors who wanted to stop the pullback of troops. Its not such a difficult thing to separate the conflicting sides in two villages, but it has dragged on for years and its now clear why -- because the nationalists dont want to leave and dont want to let the Ukrainian troops out.

  3. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov:

    The West understands that today's situation is a dead end - when everyone assumes that it is up to Russia to implement the Minsk accords while Ukraine can do just nothing. That it may not amend its constitution, may not give special status to the Donbass region ... Everyone understands that no one will resolve these issues for Ukraine.

  4. Dan Crenshaw:

    He's losing this war. It's the only reason he's at the negotiating table whatsoever. I think Zelenskyy is doing the best job he can in making public statements, for instance, that he won't give back Donbass – that he won't give back Crimea, putin is now more and more negotiating from a state of weakness and losing support domestically as well. And I also agree with the other statement [Gen. Keith Kellogg [Ret.]] made. What Putin is trying to do is desperately show the West that he has these hypersonic missiles and is willing to use them.

  5. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius:

    Military operations must stop and arms be withdrawn... Secondly, we need to right conditions for elections in the Donbass (eastern Ukraine).
