Peskov: the proposal to create Little Russia is subject to comprehension and analysis

The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the statement of the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Alexander Zakharchenko about the intention to create a new state of Little Russia is subject to understanding and analysis. His words are given by Interfax.

“I still leave this topic without comment. It is subject to understanding and analysis, ”Peskov said. He added that "the Russian side maintains commitment to Minsk agreements, we are not commenting on everything else yet."

Earlier, Zakharchenko announced the establishment of a new state of Little Russia. “We believe that the state of Ukraine in the form that it was cannot be restored. We, representatives of the regions of the former Ukraine, with the exception of Crimea, declare the establishment of a new state, which is the successor of Ukraine. We agree that the new state will be called Little Russia, since the name Ukraine itself has discredited itself, ”Zakharchenko said.

He explained that Donetsk will become the capital of Little Russia, and Kyiv remains a historical and cultural center without the status of a capital city.

According to Zakharchenko, it will be necessary to introduce a state of emergency in the country for three years.
