Ukrainian expert: Poroshenko, before it’s too late, we must recognize the elections in Donbass - otherwise the West will force it
If Ukraine withdraws itself from negotiations on elections with the LDPR, then it will later be presented with a fait accompli and forced to accept the results of these elections. Moreover, even the West will put pressure. Ukrainian political commentator Dmitry Raimov stated this on Radio Vesti.

According to him, the only way to somehow control the election of Donetsk elites is to take part in the elections in the DPR.
“If we are not present there, in fact they will simply put us in January-February, show the text of Minsk-2, the 12th point and say: “We have officially chosen, these are our representatives, whether you like it or not, agree with them.” .
When we shout that the same Motorola and everyone else do not have the right to be elected leaders, they will show another clause of the Minsk agreements, which will talk about amnesty.
If we offer our alternative to the development of this situation, and we strictly control and do not hide in the bushes, then we will be able to start a dialogue with those elites who are elected. If we withdraw ourselves, they will present us with a fait accompli, and I think that the West will not be too lazy to say that here are the newly elected representatives, negotiate with them,” Raimov said.
