Vladimir Socor: Russia spurns Ukrainian offer of constitutional status for Donetsk-Luhansk
Russian President Vladimir Putin visits the recently restored St. Prince Vladimir Equal-to-the-Apostles Church during celebrations marking the 1000-year anniversary of the canonisation of Great Prince Vladimir in Moscow on July 27, 2015.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected Ukraine's offer of constitutional status for the Donetsk-Luhansk territory as unacceptable. Addressing an international economic forum in Vladivostok, on his way back from China today (Sept. 4), Putin dismissed Kyiv's offer as inadequate in content; unilateral, instead of being negotiated by Kyiv with Donetsk-Luhansk; and as contraventions to the Minsk Two armistice on Ukraine's part on both counts.
