Russia is trying to use the statement by DPR (Donetsk People's Republic) leader Alexander Zakharchenko about the establishment of Malorossiya to play out the 'Abkhaz scenario' in Donbas, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said.

"Just when the Ukrainian delegation is visiting Georgia, the Kremlin is trying to play out the Abkhaz scenario in Donbas. We and our partners won't let it happen," Klimkin wrote on Twitter.

"Pulling Malorossiya out of naphthalene," Donetsk "has come up with another three-ring circus," Klimkin said.
