Donetsk airport and the town of Schastia in the Luhansk region can be demilitarized only if the armed opponents of the Kyiv authorities meet the first provision of the Minsk protocol and stop fighting, National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Information Analysis Center speaker Andriy Lysenko said.

"When the militants do their homework, meet the first provision of the Minsk agreements and stop fighting, we will be able to discuss the fulfillment of other provisions of this agreement," Lysenko said at a press briefing on Monday.

Denis Pushilin, a representative of the administration of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), said earlier that the DPR authorities had proposed to make Donetsk airport and the town of Schastia neutral and demilitarized zones which could be entered by OSCE monitors.
