Furthermore, in the pro-Western media, I really missed a serious and honest analysis of the discussions surrounding the Minsk peace conferences. The separatists would only agree to peace if they had complete independence from the Ukrainian government. What the separatists call autonomy is even greater independence and autonomy from the Ukrainian government than Slovakia has from the EU!!!! Reaching peace under such absurd conditions is truly impossible, but alternative media label the separatists as peacemakers. Furthermore, the representatives of the self-proclaimed republics demand complete economic independence, their own police, and their own army, which is truly absurd when such things are heard in the context of peace negotiations.
