DPR gives Kyiv 24 hours to confirm list of 'special status' areas in Donbas

MOSCOW. March 13 (Interfax) - The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) believes that by failing to determine a list of localities in the south-east of Ukraine enjoying special 'self-rule' status, the Ukrainian authorities are putting the peace process in Donbas in jeopardy.

"We are now on the brink of seeing the peace process being derailed and the set of measures to implement the Minsk agreements being disavowed," DPR envoy Denis Pushilin told the Rossiya 24 television station.

The Ukrainian parliament has 24 hours to confirm a list of 'self-rule' territories in Donbas, he said.
