Russia remains committed to the implementation of the Minsk agreements, however, Russian citizens react painfully to everything that happens in the Donbass, so the issue of recognition of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) is relevant in public opinion. This was announced today at a briefing by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
According to him, “the fact that this issue is very, very relevant in public opinion is also no secret to anyone, indeed, public opinion, our people react very painfully to everything that happens in the Donbass,” Interfax reports. .
At the same time, he pointed out that “no official decisions” were made regarding the recognition of the DPR and LPR by Russia, and “there are no official discussions.”
Meanwhile, today the State Duma adopted a draft appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin on recognizing the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics.
However, earlier Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba warned that if the self-proclaimed LPR and DPR are recognized by Russia, Kiev will consider this step as Moscow’s withdrawal from the Minsk agreements.
However, before that, the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, stated that “recognition of the independence of the LPR and DPR cannot be regarded as Russia’s withdrawal from the Minsk agreements.” “Russia is not a party to the Minsk agreements,” the deputy pointed out.
