2018

Today, from 00:01, the parties resumed their commitments to comply with a comprehensive, sustainable and indefinite truce.

On June 27, 2018, Chairman of the DPR People's Council, Permanent Representative of the DPR to the Contact Group in Minsk Denis Pushilin told about the results of the meeting of the Contact Group in Minsk on the "Theme" programme on the "Union" TV channel.

The Head of the All-Ukrainian Union “Svoboda”* Oleg Tyagnibok described the poor state of the Ukrainian army on the air on TV channel “112”. According to him, all the statements of the Ukrainian power are only dictated by the need to get ratings up before the presidential elections. 

The Donetsk People’s Republic and Ukraine demonstrate different attitude towards the implementation of the Minsk agreements. This was stated by the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council, Denis Pushilin, the Permanent Plenipotentiary Representative of the DPR in the Contact Group’s negotiations in Minsk Denis Pushilin in the TV programme “Panorama” on the TV channel “Union”.

June 28 is a national holiday in Ukraine. In 1996, under the pressure of the then acting President Leonid Kuchma, the main law was passed by a majority vote. According to eyewitnesses, Kuchma even apologized for ‘improper stimulation’ of people's deputies. However, it would be appropriate to ask the question: what relation does the current Ukraine have to the constitution adopted in 1996?

The Ukrainian judicial system continues to deteriorate due to the total corruption and destructive policy of Kiev. The situation around the tragedy in the Odessa health camp "Victoria", where three children died, is one of the proofs of the insolvency and perniciousness of reforms conducted in the judicial system.

Due to upcoming harvest season, the Contact Group agreed on a comprehensive and indefinite truce beginning from July 1, 2018, at 00:01 a.m. Kiev time.

Not so long ago, the Ukrainian government aimed at reducing the level of the national debt of the country from 72% to 60% of GDP by 2020, and Poroshenko rejoiced at another financial handout of €1 billion, which, incidentally, further tightened the debt loop around the neck of an ordinary Ukrainian . But the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance reports that at present the country is moving in the opposite direction.

Today, internally displaced persons from Donbass gathered near the Cabinet of Minister of Ukraine and demanded the implementation of a programme called “Affordable Housing”, the essence of which was that the state would undertake to recompense half the cost of purchased housing or a claimant would be provided with mortgage loan with lower interest rates.

Attempts to rewrite the history of the Great Patriotic War and the abandonment of one's history became one of the reasons for the crisis of Ukrainian statehood, Miroslav Rudenko, the deputy of the DPR People's Council, the chairman of the Committee on Education, Science and Culture, said on the air of the On the Same Page programme of Kometa radio station.
