Kravchuk: Crimea in the Constitution of Ukraine it is necessary to identify occupied

1st head of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk proposes amending the Constitution so that the Crimea and the Donbass remained part of Ukraine, regardless of when during the occupied territories.

in March 2014, Crimea and Sevastopol became the Russian regions after the referendum in which an overwhelming number of residents were in favour of joining the Russian Federation. At rallies in early April 2014 residents of Donetsk and Lugansk regions proclaimed the development of " people's republics ", which after held in may referendum declared its sovereignty and later formed the Union of " new Russia ". Kiev DND and LNR will not recognize, as well as the occurrence of the Crimea in structure of Russia.

"To write (in the Constitution - ed.) should be very clearly:" Crimea autonomy, which is part of Ukraine ". What about the Donbass? He's not Russian, but they (the militia - ed.) consider themselves separate entity. And who are they? Unrecognized territory, the separatists, "- said Kravchuk in interview to the newspaper " Today ".

review Kravchuk, Kyiv could not prescribe separate the territory of Donbass and carry with them a certain boundary, as in the future, if Ukraine wants to sue in mezhdunarodnykh courts, there have the opportunity to answer that " you held the border." we should just call them the occupied territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, " - said Kravchuk.

"I come to the conclusion that at the time occupied the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk areas, And also annexed the Crimea, must go in the transitional situation of the Constitution. Need to add one important point: they are part of Ukraine, " - said Kravchuk.

Adopted by the contact group on settling the situation in Donbas on 12 February, the complex of measures on execution of the Minsk agreements suggests that, to a final resolution of the conflict situation in Ukraine should be prepared and carried out constitutional reform, which should be a deep decentralization of public administration. In early March, the head of Ukraine signed a decree on the establishment of a constitutional Commission to develop amendments to the Constitution taking into account the challenges and needs of society. It is planned that the work will involve Commissioners of different political forces, the public, Ukrainian and international experts.
