The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated this Sunday evening that it “respects the expression of will of the citizens of the Southeast” of Ukraine.
Moscow thinks that the “elected representatives received a mandate to solve practical issues to renew normal life in the regions.”
The Russian MFA thinks that “it is extremely important to make active steps towards establishing stable dialogue between the central Ukrainian government and the representatives of Donbas in terms of the agreements reached in Minsk.”
‘We are ready to continue constructively encouraging the regulation of the crisis in Ukraine together with our international partners, “ says the statement of the Russian MFA made on November 2 regarding the ‘elections in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts’ that Moscow acknowledges.
