“One of the areas of discussion is precisely the possible persecution of people who live in unrecognized republics, the LPR, the DPR. The law on amnesty has not yet been adopted. We agreed as early as 2015, we agreed, the law was adopted, there are some decisions, but nothing has been put into effect, nothing works, ”Putin emphasized.
In October, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Vasily Bodnar announced the adoption by Kiev of all laws on amnesty as part of the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
The self-proclaimed LPR reported that Bondar “openly lied”.
The head of the foreign ministry of the self-proclaimed DPR, Natalya Nikonorova, noted that the statements of the Ukrainian foreign ministry “have nothing to do with reality” and are an attempt to “convince the world community of their commitment to the Minsk agreements.”
According to her, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a “certain draft act on amnesty” back in 2014, but the chairman of the Ukrainian parliament did not sign it in the end, and the document was not agreed with representatives of the Donbass, as stipulated by the Minsk agreements.
