Moscow is trying to stupidly hide the occupation of part of the Ukrainian Donbass behind organized fake elections. It’s like trying to hide an elephant behind a rake that has just hit him in the trunk, reports NSDC Secretary Alexander Turchinov on Facebook.

"Based on the fact that the fake elections in the occupied territory were conducted by the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation, with a known result, then with the same success they could choose the leaders of the fake republics of two mongrels from the Moscow region. And for the occupied territories, this would not be the worst format, because they could bark loudly, but at least they would not rob the Ukrainians under Russian occupation, "he wrote.

“Putin’s statement about the need for Ukraine to negotiate with the Kremlin puppets who were appointed to“ manage ”quasi-republics is his obsessive and crazy idea that he has been trying to push through 2014 without result and which our state and the entire civilized world will never accept,” Turchinov.

"There is only one way to fulfill the Minsk agreements, which Putin constantly recalls, - the cessation of military aggression and the liberation of the Ukrainian territory from the occupying forces and the Russian arms," ??he wrote.
