Russia's LDPR to monitor elections in Donbas - leader
MOSCOW. Oct 27 (Interfax) - Leader of the Russian Liberal-Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky has confirmed that his party's experts will monitor the Donbas elections on November 2.
"We will send six or seven people. All who want to will go. We hope the situation will be quieter there," Zhirinovsky told journalists on Monday when asked whether his party would send monitors to the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk republics.
He also said that he welcomes "in advance, all voters in the Luhansk and Donetsk republics, and in the whole of Novorossiya."
"For the Liberal-Democratic Party, Ukraine is synonymous to Donetsk and Luhansk. The rest is a militarized and unviable country. They live on credit. Ukraine will freeze as it has no money in its coffers," ha said.
The self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk republics will elect their heads and parliaments on November 2.
