Poroshenko: special status for Donetsk and Lugansk to be abolished

Макроэкономика 04.11.2014 Yesterday, President Poroshenko officially declared that the elections held by pro-Kremlin militants in Donetsk and Lugansk are invalid, repeating that they were a "farce", and that the militants violated the ceasefire agreement reached in Minsk. At the special gathering by of National Security Council today, Poroshenko proposed to repeal the law that was agreed upon in Minsk that grants special status of the pro-Kremlin controlled districts, particularly as the militants have been receiving aid from Russia in the form of army personnel and guns. As the Minsk ceasefire agreement appears to have been completely disregarded by the pro-Kremlin militants, the next wave of Russian aggression, with additional Western sanctions on Russia to follow, are increasingly likely.
