The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko tends to shift the responsibility for the implementation of the "Minsk agreements" in the eyes of the West to the Verkhovna Rada, which, most likely, will not accept Amendments on decentralization, fixing the special status of Donbass, said the General Director of the Center for political information Alexei Mukhin.

yesterday Poroshenko submitted to the Parliament a revised draft of changes to the Basic Law Under which the rule establishing a procedure for local government beyond the control of Kiev districts of the Donbas included in the text of the Constitution in the transitional provisions. Proposed amendments to the Constitution provide that the Special status of Donbass will be determined by a separate legislative act. The law on local government in areas of Donetsk and Lugansk regions was first adopted by the Verkhovna Rada, however, for its entry into force it is necessary the implementation of a number of conditions. For example, prescribes that certain areas of Donbass beyond the control of Kiev, will be endowed with a special status only after the local elections according to the laws of Ukraine and under the supervision of international observers. The law also reported to to allow elections need a withdrawal of all illegal armed groups and military equipment from the territory of the country. A special procedure is introduced for a time, for a period of 3 years from the date of entry into force of this law.

"Petro Poroshenko, apparently under duress from the outside from its European partners are trying to fulfill the spirit and letter of the Minsk agreements ". I think he seeks to shift responsibility for the denial of the special status of Donbas in the Verkhovna Rada. It is possible that at this Parliament, that is, and end, " said Mukhin Fins news .

The analyst explained that the Parliament of Ukraine repeatedly spoken out against the special status of Donbass. So, Poroshenko will have the opportunity in the future when talking with European partners to refer to people's deputies of Rada, which, most likely, will not accept the Amendment.

the MPs of the parliamentary majority in the Verkhovna Rada has already revealed that against the President revisions to the draft changes to the Constitution. According to the head of the parliamentary faction "Samopomich" Oleg Berezyuk, the faction would vote against even on the issue of inclusion in the agenda of this question. The leader of the "Radical party" Oleg Lyashko also opposed to the Constitution had been prescribed a Special status.

The reform of the Ukrainian Constitution in some of decentralisation envisaged by the Minsk agreements of February 12. Amendments must take into account peculiarities of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, agreed with the commissioners of these districts ". The authorities DND and LNR many times sent its proposals for reform, but never received a reply.
