Disgraceful decisions
As the leaders of the proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky announced, no compromise with Kiev is possible until the "disgraceful decisions" made by the president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and its Verkhovnaya Rada regarding the special status of Donbass are cancelled.
"By refusing to give Donbass its special status, Kiev shattered the fragile Minsk peace and drove the situation into a dead-end. Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk cynically laughed at their partners from the EU, who wasted so many efforts for these negotiations. The leaders of the DPR and the LPR say that no compromise with Kiev is possible until yesterday's decisions by Poroshenko and the Verkhovnaya Rada are cancelled," - says the announcement published on the website of LuganskInformCenter.
The announcement also notes that Kiev does not want peace, but rather tries to destroy Donbass using violence and the economic blockade. The leaders of the DPR and the LPR used this statement to express their discontent with the amendments made by the Verkhovnaya Rada for the law about the special status of Donbass, which were passed earlier. According to this statement, the amendments only list those settlements that mark the separation line and don't list every district, city, town, and village in which the special status must be enacted, which is demanded by Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine about the special status.
Besides, the changes that were not agreed with the DPR and the LPR were introduced into the law. These changes set the conditions for holding the local elections in Donbass. Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky also expressed their discontent with the fact that the enactment of special status in certain districts of Donbass by Poroshenko's amendments has been delayed for indefinite period of time. This, says the statement, roughly violates Point 4 of the complex of measures [for the implementation of the Minsk agreements].
The appeal by the Rada for the UN Security Council and the Council of the European Union with a request of deploying peacekeepers into Ukraine, according to the statement, violates the whole logic of the peace plan. "This is yet another attempt to quit the Minsk agreements, which is camouflaged by good intentions", - says the statement.

PS. The only thing that is interesting in all of these accusations directed at the junta of doing what it always does and violating all of the agreements that were signed with it is the terms when the next sequence of fraud and deceit will conclude with high-intensity military action. The fact that Kiev is not going to implement the Minsk agreements is absolutely obvious and it makes absolutely no sense to discuss how Kiev can actually implement them. These types of announcements by the leadership of the DPR and the LPR as well as the yesterday's statements by the MFA of the RF have long-term meaning only in the aspect of declaring the fascist junta to be fully responsible for the upcoming military action.
