All 25 regions in Ukraine should have the rights that so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) are demanding, but without special statuses, co-chair of the Opposition Bloc party Borys Kolesnikov has said.

"We cannot separate territories for special statuses. We have one Ukraine and all 25 regions are to have equal rights," the party's press service reported on Wednesday citing Kolesnikov.

He said that 3 million citizens are staying on non-Ukrainian government controlled territories, but Ukrainian authorities do not take enough efforts to help them.

"What efforts Ukrainian authorities have taken to save them? We do not hold negotiations. Greater countries with more democratic regimes had to hold negotiations and had to achieve results," the politician said.

"Lets put the ball in their court – and propose what so-called DPR/LPR asks for, but without any special statuses, to all 25 Ukrainian regions – make achieve decentralization. Of course no local or private armies can exist," Kolesnikov said.

He also said that the armed forces should be reformed.

"The Ukrainian Armed Forces, as the police, should not have officers who get less than the sum equivalent to $1,000. The effective armed forces should be created with 100,000 troops," he said.

Kolesnikov also paid attention to the necessity of creating municipal police.

"Ukraine does not have municipal police. Local councils should sign contracts with so-called sheriff – head of the municipal police. Then there would not be such cases as happened in Vradiyivka or as happening now," he said.
