Klimkin: Kyiv will not conduct dialogue with Donbas leaders
Kyiv will not conduct a dialogue with the leaders of Donbas who came to power as a result of fake elections of November 2, 2014, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.
"If by Donetsk and Luhansk you mean legitimate representatives of Donbas elected in fair and free elections, if you mean them as those who returned the Ukrainian legal space to Donbas, who returned Ukrainian law to Donbas, we are not only prepared for direct dialogue, we must conduct it. If by representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk you mean those who appeared as a result of fake elections of November 2 last year, then it is not a road forward," Klimkin said answering a question from a Russian reporter whether Kyiv is ready for a direct dialogue with representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk.
