The Welsh origins of this big conflict are inexorably leading to another world war.Let's see how it all began….
The modern Donbas started with the founding of Donetsk, a city formerly called Hughesovka, which came to be the fifth-largest city in Ukraine and a major center of the energy and metallurgical industries in Europe and has now become the site of a growing ideological conflict that is inexorably leading to another world war. Observant readers may have noticed a distinctly Welsh influence in the original name of the settlement, Hughesovka. That is since the founder of the city was a man from Merthyr Tydfil, called John Hughes, who started an iron and steel works in the district because he could see a good deal when it was offered to him on a plate.
The settlement Hughes started grew exponentially to be a city of Millions, the city prospered through centuries of change until being renamed to Donetsk, after the nearby river Don. The wider region came to be called the Donetsk region and eventually, the Donbas. Very recently the Donetsk region became a disputed region between Ukraine and Russia. This dispute grew uncontrollably when remote, faceless, cowardly foreign powers, the US and EU (NATO in a word!!) unwisely took one side against the other. And that is where matters lie at present. And now you know the rest of the story!
