Yatsenyuk: DPR and LPR have already become part of Russia
Russia has not yet legally, but has already de facto completed the integration of the Donbass republics into its composition.
Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk said this on the air of the talk show “Gordon”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
According to Yatsenyuk, this is evidenced by hundreds of thousands of Russian passports received by citizens of the republics, the economic and political integration of the LDPR into Russia.
“During this period of time, Russia distributed on our Ukrainian sovereign territories - this is our territory, the Ukrainian state, Donetsk and Lugansk - 820 thousand passports of citizens of the Russian Federation. How can the Minsk agreements be implemented when Russia and President Putin personally, by their decree, actually recognized the economic independence of the so-called DPR and LPR and allowed the sale of goods manufactured at stolen Ukrainian enterprises to the Russian Federation,” the former prime minister said.
“How can you recognize and implement the Minsk agreements, when in fact this whole gang of them, which is in the DPR and LPR and appointed by Putin... you know, they are members of which party? "United Russia" named after Vladimir Putin! Our Western partners, primarily Germany and France, must realize that we are in radically different geopolitical conditions than we were eight years ago. Vladimir Putin has not legally, but actually completed the annexation of part of the Ukrainian territory, which is called the so-called DPR and LPR,” Yatsenyuk said.
