“I think this is a direct path to recognition of the Donbass republics. If they call us an aggressor country and break off relations, we must somehow continue relations with the republics. If we do this outside of Ukraine, we must recognize them. This suits me, as, I think, the citizens of the LDPR,” Bortko said.
Let us recall that earlier the media reported the intention of the Verkhovna Rada deputies to introduce an amendment to the bill on “Reintegration of Donbass”, which would fix the severance of diplomatic relations between Ukraine and Russia.
