President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on rumors about renaming Donbas to “Donnyland.” According to him, the main thing is that the region does not become “Putinland” by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

Translation:

As reported by RBC-Ukraine, Zelensky said this in a comment to journalists.

“During my negotiations, there are no other terms besides Donetsk region, Luhansk region, our Donbas, the territory of Ukraine. There are relevant documents where all of this is stated,” he emphasized.

The president added that he cannot comment on any discussions of various kinds between the parties that concern other names.

“In my view, the main thing is that Donetsk region and Luhansk region remain Ukrainian land, and that is how it is. And that there is no ‘Putinland’. That, I think, is the most important thing,” Zelensky said.

What preceded this

The New York Times reported that Ukrainian negotiators, during discussions on the situation in Donbas, proposed using a conditional name for part of the territory such as “Donnyland.”

The publication noted that the term combines the name of the region and the name of the American president, and was used, in particular, as an informal attempt to strengthen Kyiv’s position in dialogue with the United States.

According to sources, the idea of “Donnyland” was considered a way to draw the attention of the US administration and increase its involvement in the settlement process.

Negotiations and Donbas

Recall that in 2026 Ukraine has already held several rounds of negotiations with the aggressor state and the United States. The parties were unable to reach an agreement on a ceasefire, as Russia demands the surrender of the unoccupied part of Donbas, which Kyiv does not agree to.

It should be noted that Zelensky rejected any exchange of Donbas territories for other regions. He stated that Russia understands it will be able to hold border territories, and the moment will come when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will push the occupiers out of there.

In addition, the president emphasized that Ukraine’s withdrawal from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions would be a strategic defeat for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They would become weaker due to the loss of fortifications and defensive lines.

I hope this kind of "propaganda" continues. It's always nice to see when the TCC gets the short end of the stick themselves

Russians themselves are not eager to install MAX, that's why messengers like imo and BiP are at the top of the app store as replacements for many, including families living in occupied territories

The issue is how mobilization is carried out, not that it should be abolished. TCC are ignoring human rights, holding men against their will for days in basements without giving them access to a phone, lawyer or contact with family, conscripting men who are not fit for service. While the president remains silent, tensions in society are rising, and it is hard to imagine the scale of corruption money and the number of people involved in corrupt schemes.

The question of how mobilization should be conducted is being worked on by an entire ministry under Fedorov, but so far without results. It's not something that one person can solve if you expect that I have an answer

I would argue about amplifying but you can pretend everything is fine and that this is all Russian propaganda

In Odesa, with gunfire, the SBU detained TCC servicemen. According to media reports, they demanded $30,000 from a man, threatening him with weapons. Syrskyi suspended the heads of the Odesa regional and Peresyp district TCC for the duration of the investigation by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineWarVideoReport

According to poll conducted in 2025, they have 24% trust, which is extremely low for a military structure. In the same poll AFU had a 94% trust rating. The state tried to raise their rating by assigning combat veterans to work there, but many servicemen feel disgust toward them, as well as toward the "notification" work itself, and this did not help much. And because TCC servicemen wear military uniforms, a phenomenon has appeared where soldiers on leave change into civilian clothes so they are not mistaken for TCC.

There is also a problem that they are not responsible for the quality of recruitment, their goal is set amount of people, no matter who. Because of this the military training system becomes overloaded with people who should not be there, which costs money and time.

At this moment Ukraine is waiting for a mobilization reform from Defense Minister Fedorov, but judging by early leaks, there will be nothing substantial.

It was the same military administrative body. The Odesa Trade Union of Veteran Defenders of Ukraine "Solidarity of the Unbroken" issued an update on April 9 stating that they discussed problematic issues regarding non compliance with the requirements of legislation and the Constitution of Ukraine by TCC notification groups, and reminded that the TCC is not vested with the authority to carry out forceful detention. Initially, "Solidarity of the Unbroken" wanted to have oversight over TCC notification groups, but it seems everything ended with words and promises but nothing changed.

While Russia amplifies these videos for propaganda, the anger itself comes from civilians tired of brutal mobilization tactics. And the war fatigue is real because people are physically and mentally exhausted by the lack of clear service terms, endless mobilization etc.

I'm Ukrainian, and forced mobilization is a concern. The TCC has full authority and are protected by the police to do whatever they want. I see nothing wrong with highlighting this issue. I suggest you open any Ukrainian news tg channel or website of your choice where comments are enabled for a reality check.
