Let's hope that everyone will just accept facts as they are and not further escalate. What Estonia is doing here is just that, an escalation. Instead of implementing the Minsk agreement, Ukraine decided to pursue a military solution of “cleaning” Donetsk region. Now they have a military solution.
Now it's time for diplomacy. Just accept the fact that the majority of Donetsk and Lugansk want to be an independent state and negotiate the borders in peace, instead of trying to further escalate.
There was already a precedent in Kosovo, where one-sidedly proclaimed independence was accepted, and a sovereign country that tried to prevent it was crushed by NATO military until they had to accept “the new reality”.
And now let someone tell me what is the difference between Ukraine-Donbas-Russia and Serbia-Kosovo-NATO situation? Except the facts that NATO now sides with the sovereign state instead with the separatists, and that Russia is an enemy of NATO.
> In 1996, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) began attacking federal security forces. The conflict escalated until Kosovo was on the verge of all-out war by the end of 1998. In January 1999, NATO warned that it would intervene militarily against Yugoslavia if it did not agree to the introduction of an international peacekeeping force and the establishment of local government in Kosovo. Subsequent peace talks failed and from 24 March to 11 June 1999, NATO carried out an extensive bombing campaign against FR Yugoslavia including targets in Kosovo itself. The war ended with Milošević agreeing to allow peacekeepers into Kosovo and withdrawing all security forces so as to transfer governance to the United Nations.
