When asked if he was going to participate in the elections, Saldo replied that he "has no other plans yet."

“As long as I can be useful, bring people through my knowledge, I will,” he told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted to the Federation Council for approval the candidacies of prosecutors of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

Prior to this, the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko said that six senators from the new regions will receive certificates on December 23.

In early October, the Russian president approved the ratification of the treaties and signed federal constitutional laws on the admission of new regions to Russia.
