This is stated in a statement by the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
“Due to the reports in Russia’s mass media outlets about the intentions of the Russian occupation administration in the temporarily occupied territories in Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine to hold the so-called “early elections” of militant leaders and their illegitimate representative bodies, the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine emphasizes that such actions of the Kremlin grossly violate the obligations of the Russian Federation as a party to the Minsk accords,” the statement reads.
