One of the priority issues on the agenda of the Contact Group's work in Minsk for 2018 the OSCE SMM calls anti-mine activity.

At the time of the meeting in Minsk, the Ukrainian representatives did not quite understand what the final version of the “Reintegration” law would look like. This was stated by the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council, the permanent plenipotentiary representative of the DPR in the Contact group’s negotiations in Minsk Denis Pushilin in “Without ties” TV programme on “Oplot TV” channel.

The Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin commented to the Donetsk News Agency the adoption by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe of a resolution on the humanitarian consequences of the war in Donbass. This document contains a requirement for Ukraine to review the “Reintegration” law.

A hundred years ago, taking advantage of the collapse of the Russian Empire, samostiynyky (supporters of the independence) (they called themselves that way) within the framework of the Western project "Anti-Russia" declared themselves independent, calling for the German army to help.

Ukraine has been increasingly saying lately that the IMF will not resume lending. Is it really true? If you look at the dynamics of allocation of funds to Ukraine, then, indeed, it seems like the actions of the western curators regarding the financing of their Ukrainian protégés are going to reach their logical conclusion, to put it simply, they are being cut from ‘feeding trough’.

At the end of 2017, Ukraine by absolutely unacceptable measures basically knocked out representatives of Russia from the Joint Center for the Control and Coordination of the ceasefire regime by which it actually destroyed the work of the only body where the interaction of the parties was still maintained with the mediation efforts of Russian officers.

The wording that was enshrined in the law on 'reintegration' has been heard since 2014 both in our address and Russia's, the Permanent Representative of the DPR at the talks of the Contact Group in Minsk, the Chairman of the DPR People's Council, Denis Pushilin, noted on the air of the Russian TV channel "Russia-24".

On January 22, Ukraine celebrated the Day of 'Unity', that is, celebrated the date when the formal union of the Ukrainian People's Republic with the Western Ukrainian People's Republic took place. Actual unification did not happen, and by the summer of 1919 the ZUNR (West Ukrainian People's Republic) ceased to exist.

January 18 can justifiably go down in history as a rainy day for Ukrainian legislation and generally for the future of the whole country. For one day, the Verkhovna Rada managed to pass several laws that literally raped the law of Ukraine, and also did not pass a law that could give a chance for the survival of the 'independent', mired in a corruption quagmire.

The “Reintegration” law adopted in Ukraine can be called outrageous, as it is aimed at attracting attention of the international community to the Ukrainian subject, as well as to reduce domestic problems. It was stated by the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin in the “Sunday Night with Vladimir Solovyov” programme on “Russia-24” TV channel.
