A DPR official says nothing is ready for the elections.
MOSCOW, June 30. /TASS/. This year it will be impossible to hold elections in Ukraine’s south-eastern Donbass region, Denis Pushilin, the chief negotiator for the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) said on Thursday.
"The chances of holding the elections this year
after a search for compromise are nil," he said at a roundtable discussion
at TASS on the issue: "Minsk agreements: the results of the first six
months and forecast until the end of 2016."
The DPR representative said that despite the fact that
in late 2015 the task was set to hold the elections in the region in the first
half of the year, it will be impossible to do that. "The first six months
does not make us optimistic," he said. "Because there have been
statements that the elections should take place in July, but nothing is ready
for them."
