He didn&#8217;t necessarily deserve these 15 minutes of fame: Suddenly, lots of\u00a0Ukrainian politicians have plans to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine. They are born of U.S. chaos and local frustration as the country enters the fourth year since the 2014 &#8220;Revolution of Dignity&#8221; with little to show in the way of achievements and with\u00a0existential dangers undiminished.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>UCMC has previously covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/53287-artemenko\">story<\/a> about Artemenko.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Viktor Baloga, who used to be emergencies minister under deposed President Viktor Yanukovych, has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ViktorBaloga\/posts\/1091228787673145\">proposed<\/a>\u00a0referendums in east Ukraine and, separately, in the rest of the country to decide on east Ukraine&#8217;s status, resulting either in its unconditional takeover by Kyiv or in the construction of an Israel-style wall on the region&#8217;s border. Sergei Taruta, the multimillionaire who was appointed governor of the Donetsk region in 2014 but who failed to stem the Russia-backed separatist rebellion there, published his own\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gazeta.zn.ua\/internal\/mirnyy-plan-dlya-donbassa-tri-osnovy-legitimnost-bezopasnost-doverie-238400_.html\">plan<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month, calling on parliament to take away\u00a0President Petro Poroshenko&#8217;s powers to negotiate a deal, appointing the last freely elected local councils in eastern Ukraine &#8212; those formed in 2010 &#8212; as an\u00a0officially recognized party to all\u00a0talks and sending in United Nations peacekeepers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There may\u00a0even be a plan calling for Yanukovych, who fled to Russia three years ago, to return to Ukraine as the leader of the rebellious eastern regions.
