Thanks for posting all of this radon1.
The truth needs to be told. Millions of peoples lives have already been adversely affected. Further escalation of this conflict will not solve anything.

Despite continued fighting, many enterprises of Donbass continue to work. However, even those that are not directly affected by the attacks, have not had an opportunity to return to the pre-war course. Because of the damage to the rail track and stations (mainly around Debaltseve-the biggest transport hub of Donbass), plants can neither receive raw materials nor send the finished products. The entire logistics of Donbass are still tied to the Ukraine. In addition, the main port through which cargo is delivered, Mariupol, currently sits right on the front line.
At a meeting of Directors of industrial enterprises , Transport Minister of the Donetsk Republic Semen Kuzmenko said: "We now have a traffic jam of 5 000 rolling stock. Yasinovataya, Uglegorsk, Horlivka, Debaltseve are all being bombed. There is a huge number of cars on the station is Skotovata".
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he lack of distribution means absence of money. And this leads to the fact that businesses have nothing to pay. Employees are being fired.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')aksym Leschenko, Chief of Administration of the Donetsk Republic, recommended that the industrialists start working through Russia.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his raises a number of issues. How realistic is the reorientation of Donbass industry in Russia?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')olitical analyst Alexei Bluminov does not believe in the possibility of reorientation:
-Economy of Donbass is an integral part of the Ukrainian national economy. There are a common production chains: raw materials for steel plants are from Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions, transport logistics are tied to the Ukrainian ports and railways. All transactions are made through Kiev and go through the Ukrainian banks. All sales offices and foreign contractual base are also running on the territory of Ukraine. Item codes of Donetsk region are Ukrainian, too. This means that Ukraine and Donbass are not going to divorce in the foreseeable future. Economic separation is something of a fantasy of the Donetsk Minister.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he view of political scientist Rostyslav Ischenko is different:
-At this stage, the shift is inevitable. Regular transport links with Ukraine virtually stopped during the war. The Ukrainian economy is dead. Of course, the mining industry is feeling slightly better than high-tech production, but given the scarcity of energy and electricity, absence of the workers due to draft dodging, financial crisis, it is impossible to guarantee supply regularity and the rhythmic work.
In addition, the supply of raw materials from Ukraine and access to markets through Ukrainian ports may be closed at any time by a political decision (and not necessarily of the central authorities). Finally, the civil war is ready to engage the whole of Ukraine at any moment, making its entire territory an area of active fighting. Any enterprise, any port, any railway junction can be simply destroyed during the war. In fact, creating at least a relatively reliable logistics through Ukraine in the next year or two may be technically impossible.
