This is a temporary situation. We must come to normal relations with Russia, with people who live on the other side in the Donetsk And Lugansk regions, said the newspaper VIEW the member of the constitutional Commission, former President Leonid Kravchuk, explaining the Draft amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine.
With regard to changes to the Constitution that made the proposal to the DNR AND LNR, Kravchuk said That He himself at the last meeting the Commission asked the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Groysman about, was considered proposals from DPR AND LPR. The constitutional Commission has called for all the regions of the state, so they showed their options for change.

"There were some suggestions in the Internet, where we walked through some back streets. But an official document, signed by representatives of the authorities, They authorized or not authorized, whether We recognize them or not recognize - It is not a question. It must be a document, not just words. There is no such document. They refer to the Minsk agreement. There is one proposal by the end of the year to take a document that gives such kind of rights... And They claim house is not about any rights, specifically rights, which almost approached the status of a separate country, " - said Kravchuk.

Explaining the criticisms of the European Commission That Kiev has passed the deadline that the head Poroshenko made a promise not to violate the Minsk agreements, Kravchuk really subjected to charges that MPs who are not in a hurry to approve projects Poroshenko." Blocks, party, faction. These citizens from different political parties, with different views. And to find solutions to very difficult, " complained the former President.- I sincerely say: I don't see, because It is a deliberate And conscious inhaling. Is a very serious discussion, not everyone is ready for it. And not all understand the situation, the international principles, norms, How does This fit ".
