Russia's War Against Ukraine

Paul Goble: Novorossiya will never be part of Ukraine again, Kremlin advisor says
A Novorossiya flag flies on March 19, 2015 at a checkpoint in Ulyanivske, some 100 kms east of Donetsk, near Ukraine's border with Russia, in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
Leonid Reshetnikov, a retired SVR general, director of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISI), and an advisor to Vladimir Putin, says that there is no possibility that Novorossiya will be part of Ukraine ever again because "the people of the south-east do not want to be Ukrainians."
