The problem of the Ukrainian political system has become one of the axes of conflict in Donbas. To undermine the sovereignty of its neighbour, the Russian Federation is using concepts of federalisation, autonomisation or decentralisation of Ukraine, depending on the circumstances. Meanwhile, local government reform is among the top priorities of the government in Kyiv. The transfer of prerogatives to the local and regional levels at the time of military conflict may weaken the state’s mobilisation capacities. The special status of a part of Donbas envisaged in the Minsk agreement as an element of decentralisation reform is synonymous with autonomy. Hence its acceptance will in fact mean Ukraine’s acquiescence to the presence of a propagator of separatism on its own territory.
