The leader of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, has every chance of becoming the president of Ukraine if Kiev implements the Minsk agreements. Deputy of the People's Council of the DPR Sergei Lugansky told PolitNavigator about this.
According to him, the holding of primaries announced in the Donbass republics is fully consistent with the Minsk agreements.

“This event should show that only the most worthy, those who are ready to take responsibility, will be elected. You need to understand that being elected is a burden, a heavy burden of responsibility, when you have to spend most of your life resolving people’s issues, to the detriment of your family and your personal interests,” the parliamentarian noted.
The deputy also explained why in the Ukrainian media information about the holding of primaries in the republic is presented exclusively in a negative way.
“We know in whose hands the Ukrainian media are in their hands, and to whose mill they are grist. They systematically and methodically wage an information war. They say whatever they want in order to incline public opinion to the desired point of view. This is war,” reflects the Donetsk deputy.
“We have a policy of openness, we have nothing to hide. We are ready to invite everyone who is interested in coming to the primaries,” he added, speaking about the participation of representatives of European countries in observing the primaries.
The deputy spoke about the possible development of the situation after the primaries.
“There may be several scenarios for the development of the situation after the primaries. The most optimal option is for Ukraine to amend the Constitution and hold early presidential elections, in which Zakharchenko should be a candidate. After he becomes president of Ukraine, the country will take a pro-Russian course. “Right Sector” and others like them will be declared banned organizations. The camps they built for us must be filled with them, the scoundrels.
Then everything will be fine. Ukraine – as it should be historically – will again become part of the Russian World,” the deputy said.
