Ukraine Demanded to “Dissolve” the DPR and LPR

Ukraine’s representatives in the contact group for Donbas named the condition for Kyiv to fulfill the Minsk agreements. As press secretary of ex-president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma Daria Olifer wrote on Facebook, it is necessary to “dissolve” the self-proclaimed republics of Donbas. According to her, both the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics should be abolished, since Ukraine recognizes only the status of regions for these areas. In addition, a ceasefire must be observed in the Donbas, which implies the complete withdrawal of foreign armed forces. Ukraine demands to ensure the work of the Ukrainian Central Election Commission of Ukraine, parties and the media in the territory temporarily uncontrolled by Kyiv, as well as provide the opportunity for foreign observers and the OSCE monitoring mission to work.
