It causes many rejection. To this opinion came the leader of the Donetsk militants Alexander Zakharchenko.

According to the separatist DAN website, he said that "the very idea of ??re-establishment of the state, which is in deep economic and political crisis, and not making attempts to do reforms, has received broad support, but the name" Little Russia "will not, because it did not find support.

A lot of interesting and varied proposals were received, which indicates that this discussion was started not in vain, "said the separatist leader.

Recall, in July, Zakharchenko said that he intended to create a "Little Russia" state, which, in his opinion, should now include the occupied territories of the Donbass, and in the future - the whole of Ukraine. The exception was the territory of the Crimea, which Zakharchenko recognizes as "Russian".

As reported URA-Inform, France and Germany called on Russia to condemn the statement of "Little Russia" and recognize that it violates the Minsk agreements and contradicts the spirit of negotiations in the "Norman format".
