I think that’s very hard to predict. It depends on what happens in Russia and abroad. I’m sure there will probably be a new government and concessions given to Russia. Hopefully Donbas will become fully independent after the war
Donbass is a part of Russia now, the referendum has been held, it has been officially annexed, the status of the new republics enshrined in the constitution. It will not become independent again, and the people there do not want independence, they wanted to be part of Russia. The de facto independence phase was a compromise they had to settle for because Russia wouldn’t accept them yet as long as they still held out hope that Ukraine would abide by the Minsk accords. That phase ended after the negotiations failed last year.
