Abstract
Since conflict broke out in 2014, Ukraine has not had control over the entirety of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. Two self-proclaimed People’s Republics have formed in the non-government-controlled region in the east. With over 10,300 lives lost and 1.5 million persons internally displaced, the closest this conflict has come to resolution was with the signing of the Minsk Agreements of February 2015. The crux of the Minsk Agreements is the granting of autonomy to the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. Three years have passed with no progress on the implementation of the Minsk Agreements from either side. This work argues that Ukraine should not maintain the stalemate and should not implement the Minsk Agreements. Ukraine in fact should pursue the partition of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Ukraine should neither maintain the status quo nor implement the Minsk Agreements because these options will lead to indefinite internal Russian influence in Ukraine. Partition is Ukraine’s only hope to pursue a future as a sovereign state.
