Unfortunately Mr. Putin has plenty of useful idiots on both left and right who view the tragic events in Ukraine through the prism of their own prejudices. On the right, these include ascendant populist politicians whose dislike of the European Union is so intense that they endorse an imperial aggressor rather than individuals seeking liberty and modernity. On the left are those whose visceral contempt for the United States is so hard-wired that they side with any of Uncle Sam's opponents—even if that means indulging a homophobic despot who has crushed dissent at home and sent his forces to stifle democracy abroad.

Viva La Novorossia!

Self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk republics unite in ‘Novorossia’ state
http://rt.com/news/161304-donetsk-lugansk-unite-state/

Self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics which recently held referenda on independence from Ukraine have declared the creation of a union state of Novorossia.

“We have signed a memorandum on the union,” Denis Pushilin, co-chairman of the Donetsk People’s Republic, told the media.

The new union state will be called Novorossia, said the people’s governor of the Donetsk Region, Pavel Gubarev.

...

People’s representatives from eight Ukrainian regions gathered for a congress in Donetsk on Saturday, a day ahead of scheduled countrywide presidential elections.

...

The coalition involves Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kharkov, Kherson, Donetsk and Lugansk Regions.

That's where real diplomacy and politics are happening, not in Kiev.

[bryant.coleman]

Stats for the People's Republic of Novorossia, formed after the merger of Donetsk People's Republic with the Lugansk People's Republic.

Area: 53,201 sq. kms
Population: 6,603,276

Area-wise, the Republic is bigger than European nations such as Belgium and the Netherlands. Also, the Republic's population is bigger than that of Ireland or Norway!
