Summary/Abstract: The conflict in Donbas remains a primary challenge to Ukraine’s national security. The peaceful settlement of the conflict is hampered by the lack of a state strategy for reintegrating the particular districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions (uncontrolled Donbas) as a result of disparities among the political elite. Subsequently, neither the Ukrainian public nor foreign partners have an understanding of the government’s plans to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine. In the current situation, it is necessary to analyze four possible models of government decisions as regards the conflict in Donbas, taking into account combat and material losses, public opinion, the position of external players and other factors.
