"Ex-separatist leader calls Russian attack on Ukraine a mistake"

"LONDON (Reuters) - One of the architects of the Moscow-backed separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine eight years ago said Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a mistake, in comments that show the Kremlin cannot count on support from all pro-Russian opponents of Kyiv."

[....]

"In an interview with Reuters last Friday, Alexandrov said: 'All this could have been resolved earlier, mainly through diplomatic means and perhaps an insignificant use of force. But that was not done, and that is a mistake on all sides.'"

Perhaps this all will settled with negotiation. Final legal status of the Lukhansk and Donbass regions a settlement reached between the warring parties in an amicable and agreed upon manner, satisfactory to all!

BUT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT RESORTING TO A MAJOR CONFLICT AS HAS OCCURRED!

Alexandrov please note as described: "ex-separatist leader". There is some significance here?
