The Russian President demands to lift the blockade from the Kyiv-controlled Donbass and restore economic relations with the LDNR. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Minsk agreements require a full restoration of relations between the Donbass and Ukraine. But it is necessary “to cancel the decree of the former President Poroshenko, who organized the blockade of the region,” said Putin during a meeting with Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte, RIA Novosti reports. “One cannot always demand from Russia the implementation of, say, the same Minsk agreements in the part that does not depend on us at all. The Minsk agreements require, for example, a full restoration of economic relations between the Donbass and Ukraine. First of all, it is necessary to cancel the decree of former President Poroshenko on this blockade. It directly contradicts the Minsk agreements,” Putin said. Earlier Putin put forth a condition for improving relations with Kyiv. The President of Ukraine should establish contact with compatriots in the Donbass, said the Russian leader. Korrespondent.net
