"The deputies of the city council consider an unacceptable attempt to implement the so-called" Steinmeier formula, "the message on the city council website said.

They believe that the plans for the implementation of the formula are "an undisguised surrender of national interests and the beginning of the surrender of Ukraine."

Deputies called on the Verkhovna Rada to block the adoption of a new version of the law on self-government in certain areas of Donbass.

The report said that the City Council “puts forward a number of demands” and invites the country's authorities and leading political forces to hold a round table to develop a national strategy.

Earlier, the party of the ex-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko demanded to convene the National Security and Defense Council due to Steinmeier’s formula.
