Progress in the Ukraine

With the fighting slowing down and the ceasefire seeming to have positive effects on the Ukraine, we are still left with the question to answer, what now?  After all of this conflict, what is the country to do to either unite or separate, into whatever solution leads to the most success for the region?  I don't know the answer, but either way, there will be some portion of the population that will feel almost like the colonized individuals we have read about in multiple stories for class.  While the disparity is not a severe as it was for the Africans, the tension between the ideologies will still be fresh.  How long will it take before one group starts blaming the other for problems again, or one group feels like its being occupied by another in their country, or mistreatment and bigotry rises up again.  Hopefully the transition will be much more fluid and successful that my somewhat dour look on life is, but sadly, as highlighted in not only these stories but human history, this is almost never the case.
