Ukraine will not accept the results of the population census in the CIS member countries in 2020, if Russia will add the population in Crimea to the number of its population, Ukrainian Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Mykola Doroshenko said.

"Regarding the population census in 2020. Ukraine will participate in the population census of 2020, but if Russia takes the census of the population living in the Ukrainian territory annexed by Russia, we will consider the results of it void," he said at the CIS Heads of State Council meeting in an extended format in Bishkek on Friday.

Doroshenko participated in the summit on behalf of Ukraine.
