Russia is going to recognize the DNR and LNR’s borders within the whole of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts - 2/3 of which are controlled by Ukraine, according to MP Leonid Kalashnikov.
That could mean endorsing separatist territorial claims and de facto war with Ukraine.

The above map shows the current location of the two republics in red. But the entire region of their Oblasts are in grey. The main question everyone is now asking is: Will the republics and Russia demand that ALL of the original territories in grey be returned to the Republics?

My comment: The Uk is now in the process of placing major financial sanctions on Russia. Once this happened I posed this question:
What if the UK is so adamant about punishing Russia, that when the next Russian flight form Moscow arrives in London, that they refuse to fuel the plane and won't allow the plane to leave? And they confiscate the plane, and announce that any other flights from Russia will not be allowed to land in England?
