The requirements of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the demilitarization of Ukraine, refusing to join NATO and recognition of Russian sovereignty over the Crimea are impossible for the Ukrainian authorities, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said in his telegram channel.
According to him, it is impossible to fulfill the requirements, because they contradict the election of an economic society. "For sovereign and independent Ukraine and for me, as the Prime Minister of our country, this is impossible," Shmygal said.
He also asked Ukrainians to remain calm, as this helps to strengthen the economic and macroeconomic situation in a stable state.
On Tuesday, February 22, Vladimir Putin said that to normalize relations with Ukraine, she must recognize Russia's sovereignty over the Crimea, abandon NATO membership and conduct partial demilitarization of the country.
On February 22, the State Duma and the Russian Federation of Russia supported the independence of the so -called "DPR" and "LPR". The separatist republics were recognized in the current borders, which are about a third of the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. The rest is controlled by the authorities of Ukraine. After that, a number of developed countries imposed sanctions against the banking sector, officials and State Duma deputies.
