Sarcastic 'win-win' Donbas joke circulates in Ukraine war debate

A sarcastic joke about the Ukraine war is making the rounds: that Russia can 'keep Donbass' while Ukraine keeps 'the whole of Donbas'. The punchline is that these are the same thing — Donbas in its entirety, as internationally recognised before 2014, belongs to Ukraine — so the deal means Ukraine regains all occupied territory along the 1991 borders.

Why now: The joke is being shared amid ongoing discussion about possible territorial compromise deals to end the war.
