The republics' right
to hold the elections, scheduled for November 11, was not recognized by Kiev
and some Western countries
MOSCOW, November 6.
/TASS/. The upcoming elections of the heads and members of People’s Councils of
the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) do not contradict the
Minsk accords, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.
"They do not run
counter, at least to the Minsk accords; nothing is said about it there,"
Peskov said.
Commenting on a
journalist’s comment that the specified agreements concern the organization of
such elections under Ukrainian law, the spokesman noted that "if you read
the items of the Minsk accords which precede it you’ll see that the Ukrainian
side had to do much, but didn’t do it."
Elections of the DPR
and LPR heads and members of the People’s Councils will be held on November 11,
2018. Kiev and some Western countries refused to recognize the republics’ right
to hold them. As many as 408 voting stations will operate on the DPR territory
on Sunday. Five candidates will fight for the leadership in the republic -
Denis Pushilin, Yelena Shishkina, Roman Khramenkov, Vladimir Medvedev and Roman
Yevstifeyev. Two social movements - the Donetsk Republic and Free Donbass -
will compete at the election to the People’s Council.
