Washington will welcome the elections in the unrecognized republics of Donbass, if they are held in accordance with the standards and the Ukrainian constitution, reports RIA News Statement by State Department spokesman Mark Toner.



“The main thing that worries us is that they (the elections) comply with international standards, comply with the Constitution of Ukraine. If they can be held by July and will meet these conditions, I think we will welcome them ",
Toner told reporters.

Toner added that his department is not aware of "the exact date or time interval when these elections are to be held."

The agency reminds that the elections to the power structures of the DPR and LNR are stipulated by the Minsk agreements on the settlement of the situation in the Donbas.

        Not only. This is also seen by the Americans, which in no way prevents them from continuing to fool around and make idiots from the surrounding people.
        Instead of tapping their puppets in Kiev in the places where they eat so that they stop shelling Donetsk, these Washington figures will welcome elections under the Ukrainian constitutionyou see.
        Stunning cynicism, they would care about their elections.

      Ignatius, Practice has shown that international standards in the understanding of the US and the EU are standards that depend on a specific situation. Whoever wants to, and interprets ..)))

      What little things are you talking about? The special status of Donbass, the Constitution of Ukraine? There is a reservation of fascism called "Dill". The USA supports and feeds it. And that says it all.

    Sly US State Department will only welcome victory in the Donbass pro-Western forces, but this will never happen.
    Therefore, the opinion of the State Department is not interesting to anyone ...

    Why is this frightened? the Americans, as always, did not read the "Minsk agreements", and there it says about THIS. The elections should be in accordance with the law adopted by the UkroRada and agreed with the LPNR. Which, of course, does not want the Kiev junta and their masters.

    I read the title of the article (somewhere in the subconscious mind flashed again "how are you tired of your standards and so on") and thought - to read the article is a waste of time, nothing new will be ... Maybe I was wrong? who read?

    Fushington can boldly and decisively stick his greeting along with the Ukrainian constitution deep into his back pocket.

    The United States has problems with its own electoral system. Let the introduction of democracy begin on their own, five minutes later they changed the slave system to the imperial mutant, and they climb the electoral system with advice. Well, stupid! winked

    By international standards? Are they joking? Can elections be standardized? And even if there is a standard, show who and when accepted it. And then the standards! Walk through the forest. And I am silent about the Ukrainian constitution. By what they want a constitution then? According to the one on which perhaps the legs were not walked in the 14th? M Maybe a new one? But I did not hear something new.

    And yes - why doesn’t anyone want to ask people in the Donbass, do they WANT any elections to be held? And then, after all, everything is decided for them. Rather, they decided everything.

    To be honest, I would also send the States with their "greetings" and everyone else. Those who live there should decide. And certainly not in Kiev and not behind the Atlantic puddle.

    To begin with, according to the Minsk agreements, the Constitution of the country "U" should be changed.
    And will mattress makers "approve" or not the elections in the LPR and DPR, the people of the republics simply should not worry.
    Let them choose what they want and whom they want in their mattress!

    There they already have cats in mayors in some places - we don’t worry about these cats! Well, their voters like cats to do what cats do when they (cats) have nothing to do! This is the business of their constituents! And we do not intervene.
