The first president of Ukraine called the Donbass "another country"

He said this on the air of ZIK.

“Listen, there is another country. Children have already grown up, they learn differently in schools. We need to think about what we can give way without losing territory and sovereignty, ”Kravchuk said. According to him, the authorities need to rely on international experience to resolve the situation and make an offer to Donbas.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko approved the boundaries and the list of "temporarily occupied" settlements and districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

In August 2018, Kravchuk, in an interview with NSN, noted that the crisis affected the economy, politics and social sphere of Ukraine.
