There will be no legalization of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.
"No one will allow the so-called DPR and LPR to be legalized, and this is my political position," the premier told the government on Wednesday, commenting on the bill regarding a special status for parts of the two regions passed on Tuesday.
The bill was necessary to establish peace, to prevent more deaths of Ukrainians, Yatseniuk said.
