the Donbass region occupies a geopolitical importance due to its distinguished geographical location, it is located in the southeast of Ukraine and it is characterized by historical, cultural and economic advantage, additionally it is rich in coal. It is regarded as one of the most important coal producing region in the world. This region is called by different names such as portmanio, Dotis basin and coal basin. The region has two areas Donetsk and Luhansk which are located in eastern Ukraine. This region occupies 3,52 thousand square kilometers.
Both regions declared their independence from Ukraine with the support of Russia and they are two administrative regions that belong to Ukraine like Crimea in which the main language is Russia. The percentage of the Russian population is high in both regions compared with other regions, the same thing applies to adjacent regions that lie on the black sea such as Saburishtsia, Kharkiv, and Odessa. In 2014 pro-Russian separatists declared independency in Luhansk and Donetsk regions ‘People’s Republic’. After some battles between the Ukrainian army and the separatists a fragile truce was reached in the Minsk II in 2015, separating line between the areas under Ukraine’s control and the areas under separatist control bordering Russia.
