On June 30, a solemn event on the occasion of the DPR Economists Day was held at the Donetsk Art and Exhibition Centre “Art–Donbass". The event was attended by the Chairman of the DPR People's Council Denis Pushilin and the Minister of Economic Development Victoria Romanyuk.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov criticized the western approach to resolving the conflict in Donbass. The West has traditionally shifted all responsibility for the implementation of the Minsk agreements to Moscow and it does not remind Kiev that Ukraine is designated as the sole executor in certain paragraphs.

President of Ukraine Pyotr Poroshenko referred the reluctance of the authorities to fight corruption to the difficult Soviet legacy. The efforts of the Ukrainian leader to head all the corruption schemes are not in vain - the oligarch significantly increased his personal wealth, showing an example to his entourage, helping him to rob the Ukrainian people.

Apparently, the old Ukrainian elite, at last, is beginning catching sight. Thus, at the opening of the international forum the former president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, not hiding the hopelessness of the situation, spoke about the situation around the relations of his country with the EU countries.

On June 27, a solemn ceremony of rewarding of the winners of the republican competition entitled “Youth Award – 2017” took place in the Donetsk National Academic Musical and Drama Theatre.

On June 24, at the extreme polygon "Avdotieno" in the Leninsky district of Donetsk, team competitions among the youth "The Race of Heroes" took place. The event was attended by Chairman of the DPR People's Council Denis Pushilin, DPR Minister of Youth Policy, Sports and Tourism Mikhail Mishyn.

The Chairman of the DPR People's Council and the permanent plenipotentiary representative of the DPR in the Contact Group at negotiations in Minsk Denis Pushilin participated in a TV programme entitled “Theme” on “Union” TV channel.

On June 22, the DPR People's Council Chairman, the head of the central executive committee of the public movement "Donetsk Republic" Denis Pushilin presented the membership cards to the employees of the State Enterprise "High Voltage Networks", "PES Energougol" and "Donetskoblenergo", transferred to the external management. The deputy of the DPR People's Council, Marina Zheynova, also took part in the event.

Firstly, this meeting has once again demonstrated everyone that Ukraine is not an independent state. Poroshenko, in the presence of the media, warmly thanked Trump for being the main strategic partner of Ukraine, as well as for its support, with the hint that it should be a bigger one, as Ukraine is the largest country in Europe.
