Moscow is not interested in the Donbass, with its Ukrainian residents, Putin's proposal on the referendum there - just a rehearsal for the collapse of the whole Ukraine, said the head of the Foreign Ministry Pavel Klimkin.
I call many experts and journalists, asked to comment on Russia's proposal for a “referendum on the Donbas”, Klimkin wrote on Facebook.
According to the minister, such an offer he could not see, but, if it exists, it is the greatest insolence.
For this audacity to say briefly: No one believes in the possibility of a free and fair expression of the will in the Donbass in conditions of the Russian occupation, he said.
In this case, said Klimkin, that the referendum in eastern Ukraine is impossible or politically, nor from a legal point of view.
At the same time, According to him, One thing people should be clearly aware of: Donbass Moscow with his Ukrainian citizens do not care. Kremlin's proposal for a referendum - a kind of rehearsal for the collapse of the whole Ukraine.
Foreign Minister urged to remember "Russian passages about federalization of Ukraine", and stressed, that these "passages" is not about Donbass. But destroy the country the Russian authorities will not be able, He concluded Klimkin.
Recall, The Western media, citing sources reported, Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Helsinki proposed Donald Trump to consider a proposal to hold a referendum in the Donbas, where residents DNR and LNR have expressed about the status of their territories.
