“The elections will take place in eastern Ukraine in compliance with the Minsk agreements and under law that was approved in Ukraine,” director of the Russian Foreign Ministry 2nd CIS Department Viktor Sorokin said at a session of the Federation Council monitoring commission for Ukraine.
“As far as I know observers will be there. Their presence, though their number is small, proves that the republics are ready to openly demonstrate preparations for and the pace of the voting,” Sorokin said.
Commenting on how to name the regions where the elections will be held, he said now the priority was to stop people’s killing and hunger, and resume the work of the regions’ economy.
“They will think then how to live further and how to be named,” he said.

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry says elections of the heads and parliamentarians of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics scheduled for November 2 will jeopardise the peace process in the country.“Any own voting in this Ukrainian territory will hamper the peaceful settlement,” the ministry’s spokesman, Yevgeny Perebeinos, said.
- The results of the elections “will not be recognised by the central power or anywhere in the world”,” Perebeinos said.
