Discussion of date of meeting of contact group on Ukraine has not begun yet - LPR administration
MOSCOW. March 14 (Interfax) - No specific date of the next meeting of the contact group on the situation in Ukraine has been discussed yet, Vladislav Deinego, who represents the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) in the Minsk negotiations, said on Saturday.
"A meeting in person cannot take place today because I am far away. No planned dates are being discussed. A video conference can take place any moment, it takes little time to approve it, a couple of hours," Deinego told the Russian News Service on Saturday.
Deinego said he is hoping that "Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada will adopt a decree determining the list of Donbas regions with special status in the nearest future."
"Under the Minsk agreements, the control date is today. It gives a position, a point of application for the implementation of the set of measures signed in Minsk. It includes the constitutional reform and elections. It all applies to the territories to which the law on special status applies," Deinego said.
The deadline for the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of a decree stating the territory to which the special status of some regions of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions applies expires on March 14.
