The Ukrainian Constitutional Commission has not received any official documents from the European Union insisting that certain territories in Donbas be granted special status, says Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Groysman, the commission's head.

"I've seen this in the media. I don't have any official position on the matter. I haven't received any information on the matter officially from the European Union that they insist on this. Later I saw the media deny that the EU has this position," Groysman said at a news briefing in Kyiv on Thursday.

"That is, there has been no such address to the Constitutional Commission, and we haven't considered such addresses," he added.

Media had reported earlier that the EU had urged Ukraine to grant special status to some territories in Donbas before the Minsk agreements are implemented.
