On May 20, the leaders of the Luhansk and Donetsk people's republics (LNR and DNR) announced the abandonment of the Novorossia project, a hypothetical confederation of states in southeastern Ukraine stretching from Kharkiv to Odessa.
It is no coincidence that the closure came just days after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Sochi, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland met with her counterparts in Moscow. Although representatives from the Russian Foreign Ministry insisted that they would not cut a deal with the Americans, the two sides seem to have come to some kind of agreement.

I hope this is true. I also don’t think it is a coincidence that the announcement of Novorossia project’s abandonment (or delaying) followed the meeting with Kerry and the Russian authorities. They definitely agreed on something. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any reason for Nuland to fly to Russia after Kerry, would there?
On the other hand, if they really came to an understanding about something, why would Russia impose a blacklist of the EU officials?
