“Recognition from Russia” Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republic “will help resolve the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine, Russia must go for this step.” This was stated by the Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
According to her, it is impossible to postpone the solution.
“If the recognition” DNR “and” LNR “will allow this problem, it is obvious, it means that we must go for this step. Threats of sanctions, of course, it hurts, unpleasant, but, listen, are called the aggressor, and we I did not declare sanctions against Ukraine, “said Matvienko.
She also added that for Ukraine it is a territory, and for Russia – citizens, people.
Ukraine will not carry out Minsk agreements to settle the situation around the “Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics”. This is not included in the plans of Kiev. Well, how else can you explain? We must eventually make a decision. We have enough patience and arguments to force Ukraine fulfill the Minsk agreements, go peaceful, diplomatic, but they don’t want it and will not do, “said Matvienko.
