Conditions for holding elections in Donbass were named in Kiev
In Kiev, elections are allowed in the territory of Donbass not controlled by Ukraine until March 31, 2021, but only if certain conditions are met. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba.
According to the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, elections in Donbass will be held subject to the transfer of a section of the border with Russia under Ukrainian control and only under Ukrainian law.
- he said.
At the same time, Kuleba explained that there is no binding of the election date to a specific date, March 31 is being considered, since this date was proposed in the plan developed by Kiev.
At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group (TGC) Leonid Kravchuk spoke about the "Plan of Joint Steps" prepared by the Ukrainian side to resolve the conflict in ORDLO (separate areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions) and the holding of elections there.
- he said.
After the fulfillment of these points, Kiev intends to take control of the border in order to ensure the "normal operation" of CADLO and then hold elections under Ukrainian law.
Meanwhile, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the conditions proposed by Kiev are at variance with the Minsk agreements. According to him, he does not know whether the plan developed in Kiev was transferred to Moscow. At the same time, Peskov called the new meeting of the Normandy quartet "meaningless", since, in his opinion, there is nothing to discuss at the meeting, since Ukraine has not fulfilled a single promise.
- he added.
