The Russian leadership uses the idea of ??a plebiscite in the Donbass to prepare the disintegration of the Ukrainian state. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin. The proposal of Russian President Vladimir Putin to hold a popular vote in the southeast of Ukraine is no more than a ruse, the Foreign Minister of the country. According to him, the Russian head is not interested in the Donbass "with its Ukrainian inhabitants". "Remember the Russian passages about the federalization of Ukraine, and you will immediately understand that this is not about Donbass.

This is a kind of "rehearsal", which the Kremlin regime will push to destroy our country, "- wrote Klimkin in Facebook. The very idea of ??a referendum in the Donbass Klimkin called "audacity" and said that it is impossible to conduct it from both a political and legal point of view. Kiev will not recognize the results of the will of residents who will make their choice about the fate of the region under the pressure of Russian forces, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister stressed..
