Donbass has now become an informal Russian region and is closer to the Russian Federation than to Ukraine. It was stated by the Russian political analyst Alexei Anpilogov.

It is the picture of holiday that we saw on our TV screens on May 9th. Donbass lives by Russian realities, economically it is already largely involved in the Russian realities. Certainly, Donetsk and Lugansk now live poorer than even the poorest regions of the Russian Federation. That is, prices are already Russian ones, but salaries are still far from those in Russia,' said Anpilogov.
