Ukraine not to recognize 'fake' elections in Donbas - NSDC Secretary

Ukraine will never recognize the "fake" elections that are planned by the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics, Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov said.

"No way would that happen," he answered a related question in the Left Bank with Sonia Koshkina program.

The Minsk agreements say that elections in individual districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions are possible only after conditions for holding the election campaign by Ukrainian laws are created. "This has not happened. Yet they have decided to hold elections on October 18 and in early November," Turchynov said.

He claimed that the DPR and the LPR were only talking about the peace process but, in fact, did not honor the Minsk agreements.
