Why Putin’s obsessed with seizing Donbas

02 Sep 2025

Description

Since the fanfare surrounding Donald Trump’s face to face peace talks with the Russian President, perhaps unsurprisingly, the war continues in Ukraine. That’s partly because as part of any deal, Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine to hand over the entire eastern region of Donbas. It’s a demand that Ukraine rejects.  So, what is so important to Putin about that region?  Today, John Haltiwanger from Foreign Policy magazine, explains why Donbas is at the heart of Putin’s war. Featured: John Haltiwanger, staff writer at Foreign Policy magazine
