MOSCOW – Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has proposed a set of measures towards settling the conflict in eastern Ukraine and suggested that a referendum on Donbas’s status should be held in case Kyiv fails to implement the Minsk Agreements.
“To engage representatives of the protesting side representing the Donbas people in the Normandy format negotiations and to initiate a referendum on Donbas’s status in case the incumbent Ukrainian authorities fail to implement the Minsk agreements,” Yanukovych said in listing his suggestions in an open letter to the leaders of Poland, France and Germany, heads of non-governmental organizations, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and U.S. President Donald Trump.
