The move exemplifies Russia's commitment to do whatever it takes to prevent a military defeat of the separatist entities that it has incited and forged into fighting units – a determination that has endured, even as the conflict has placed considerable strain on its armed forces. Given this, the prospects for Ukraine to reassert control over the Donbas region militarily are so slim that even trying to do so would be foolish.
这一举动表明俄罗斯决心不惜一切代价防止其煽动并组建为战斗单位的分裂势力在军事上被打败——这一决心是长久的，即使冲突给其武装力量造成了相当大的压力。基于此，乌克兰通过军事手段夺回顿巴斯地区控制权的希望非常渺茫，做出这样的尝试也是愚蠢的。
