Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov. Archival photoSIMFEROPOL, Feb. 15 The head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, said that the recognition of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics would make it impossible for Kiev to continue violating the «Minsk agreements» with impunity. The State Duma on Tuesday voted in favor of an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the need to recognize the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR.
The State Duma approved a draft resolution on the recognition of the DPR and LPR»Russia's patience seems to have come to an end. Further unpunished violation of Ukraine's obligations assumed by it under the «Minsk agreements» becomes impossible. Now Berlin and Paris can condone the unbridled terrorist regime that has settled in Kiev as much as they like. If agreements with them failed to reliably protect our brothers in the Donbass, Russia will do it itself — following the example of how it saved the inhabitants of A from the genocide Bkhazia and South Ossetia,» Konstantinov told reporters, commenting on the decision of the State Duma. According to him, the decision of the State Duma is eloquent evidence that the leadership of the Russian Federation «is determined and cannot be confused by endless and meaningless conversations.»
