This is really a logical result of the blockade of Donbas by Ukrainian political activists, the other ones is the energy crisis in Ukraine (because activists block coal supply from Donbas to the Kiev held regions of Ukraine) and the increased economic ties between Donbas and Russia (I posted a link to an article detailing the changes in the food trade).
None of that actually answers my question.
