Most important thing is to force Kiev to accept DNR/LNR as legal party in all current and future negotiations. I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that ATO has been defeated so it's perfect time to move this conflict onto political ground and give people of Donbass freedom of choice.
The ironic thing, that even if DNR/LNR stay as federative subjects of Ukraine, this whole bloodshed could have been avoided if the coup government of Kiev heeded to original federalisation/self-determinations demands from the East. If the Western "allies" of Ukraine were not so stubbornly blocking Russia's diplomatic initiatives to avoid the conflict back in May.
But as someone said at the beginning of the conflict - freedom can seldom be just granted, it must be fought for.
