Russia's War Against Ukraine

Residents of Oktyabrki, a district of Donetsk, rally in front of the government building of the self-proclamated Donetsk People's Republic on June 15, 2015.
The residents of occupied Donbass have suffered death and hardship that would disappear if the separatists went away. Will they eventually, driven by desperation, use people power to rid themselves of the Russian-backed forces? If so, Russia will face a hard decision.
