It is necessary to start the reintegration of Donbas right now, Deputy Minister for Occupied Territories Heorhiy Tuka has said.
"According to international experts [dealing with similar conflicts], if a process of reintegration is not started within five years, then actually we cannot talk about reintegration later. Given this, that two and a half years of these five years have passed, we can conclude that we are now not so close to the deadline, but it is visible. Therefore, in my view, we have no right to lose time, it is vital to start the process of reintegration of Donbas," Tuka said on the air of Inter TV Channel.
