The most common definition in use today refers to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, whilst the historical coal mining region excluded parts of these oblasts, and included areas in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Southern Russia.[6] A Euroregion of the same name is composed of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in Ukraine and Rostov Oblast in Russia.[9] Donbas formed the historical border between the Zaporizhian Sich and the Don Cossack Host. It has been an important coal mining area since the late 19th century, when it became a heavily industrialised territory.[10]
In March 2014, following the Euromaidan and 2014 Ukrainian revolution, large swaths of the Donbas became gripped by unrest. This unrest later grew into a war between pro-Russian separatists affiliated with the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (neither of which are recognized as legitimate by any of the UN member states[11]), and the post-revolutionary Ukrainian government. Until the ongoing war, the Donbas was the most densely populated of all the regions of Ukraine apart from the capital city of Kyiv.[citation needed]
Before the war, the city of Donetsk (then the fifth largest city of Ukraine) had been considered the unofficial capital of the Donbas. Large cities (over 100,000 inhabitants) also included Luhansk, Mariupol, Makiivka, Horlivka, Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Alchevsk, Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk. Now the city of Kramatorsk is the interim administrative center of the Donetsk Oblast, whereas the interim center of Luhansk Oblast is the city of Severodonetsk. On the separatist side, Donetsk, Makiivka and Horlivka are now the largest cities in the Donetsk People's Republic, and Luhansk and Alchevsk in the Luhansk People's Republic.

The crash of the Malaysian Boeing-777
MH17 case: All pieces of evidence demonstrated
The judges pay a lot of attention to phone talks between militants involved in that disaster
Jun 18 - The Hague district court that looks into the case of MH17 downing over Donbas in 2014 has all pieces of evidence demonstrated.
According to NOS, the judges pay a lot of attention to phone conversations between Russian mercenaries, as well as to the cell network data, which allows investigators to figure out the location ofthose who participated in trasnportation of Buk missile launcher and deployed it. On June 17, during the process, the jury discussed the role of Igor Girkin, who is considered an important figure, taking into account the intercedpted conversations. He is supposed to be the one who ordered to bring the Buk to occupied Donbas from Russia on July 17, 2014.
Suspect Oleg Pulatov, the only onsuspect who cooperates with the investigation claimed that the militants knew about wiretapping, so they allegedly exchanged fake information in their conversations. Another suspect, Sergei Dubinsky stated that the records of conversations were fake.
The proseuction denied the allegations that the evidence in this case contains misinformation.
The review of this case on the merits began on June 7. The witnesses of the launch of Buk missile already spoke before the jury. They were questioned by both representatives of the JIT and the investigating judge. source from

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Biden (left) would welcome a chance to speak further to China's Xi.Jinping (right).
Biden sees pushback on China but ready to see Xi, says aide
Jun. 18 - ..."The previous president had ceded that mantle and this president has now emphatically reclaimed it," Sullivan said, referring to Donald Trump, who frequently clashed with US allies.
The summits have "laid the groundwork for proving out the case that democracies can deliver for their own people and for people around the world," Sullivan said.
His remarks came after expected criticism from Trump's Republican Party, which accused Biden of not being forceful enough.
The Biden administration, keeping the substance if not the tone of Trump's hawkish approach, has identified China as the pre-eminent global challenge due to its increasingly assertive policies both at home and abroad.
But Sullivan said that Biden would welcome a chance to speak further to Xi.
The two had a lengthy phone call in February but in-person interaction has been limited to a tense meeting in March between Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken and top Chinese officials in Alaska.
After meeting another frequent US adversary, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in Geneva on Wednesday, Biden said there was no substitute for in-person talks.
Biden's view "also applies to China and President
Xi Jinping. He will look for opportunities to engage with President Xi going forward," Sullivan said.
He said there were no plans scheduled to meet Xi but noted that both presidents were likely to take part in a summit in October in Italy of the Group of 20 major economies.
"Soon enough we will sit down to work out the right modality for the two presidents to engage," Sullivan said.

White House considering talks between Biden and China's Xi
Jun 18 - The White House will consider arranging talks between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, as the two countries spar over issues including human rights, a top U.S. official said on Thursday.
Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that the two leaders are due to "take stock of where we are in the relationship."
Beijing fumed over a communique issued at Biden's urging by the Group of Seven leaders on Sunday. It scolded the country over human rights in its Xinjiang region and Hong Kong while also demanding a full and thorough investigation of the origins of the coronavirus in China. read more
"Soon enough we will sit down to work out the right modality for the two presidents to engage," Sullivan told reporters on a conference call.
"It could be a phone call, it could be a meeting on the margins of another international summit, it could be something else."
Biden and Xi are both expected to attend the G20 meeting in October hosted by Italy, one possible venue for such talks. Sullivan said no final decisions have been made.
Asked if he would call on Xi to push for an investigation in COVID-19 origins, Biden on Wednesday told reporters: "We know each other well; we're not old friends. It's just pure business." source from
