as of today it remains a hard call but i would continue to discount the
supposed kharkov breakaway tripoints as well as the supposed luhansk
breakaway tripoints since neither of those breakaway republics controls
even a single building in full any more but in donetsk on the other hand
the rebellion is now far more widespread with a dozen well established
occupations up & down the spine of the entire oblast from mariupol to
krasnyi lyman comprising in some cases entire neighborhoods & even entire
cities all with still unchallenged pretensions to control of the entire
oblast so in this case i would say as of today a single disputed tripoint
of the donetsk republic with russia & rump ukraine in the east might be
claimed albeit without any counterpart tripoint in the west where the
donetsk breakaway republic & rump ukraine meet only the sea of azov

tho independent donetsk today is not as clearcut as independent crimea was
between march 18th & 28th its new putative worldclass tripoint dnruua can
no longer be dismissed out of hand
