“The special status of the Donbass should be enshrined in the constitution,” the statement says on the website of the head of the DPR.

Pushilin noted that the Ukrainian side should coordinate all amendments to this law with the DPR and LPR.

“It is written in the Minsk agreements and in the outcome of the Paris summit of the Norman Four,” he added.

On December 11, the first deputy head of the “Servant of the People” faction, Alexander Kornienko, admitted that a new bill on the special status of Donbass could be developed within a year.
