President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that a new law will be prepared on the special status of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which will contain the provisions of the Steinmeier formula.

“The Steinmeier Formula should be implemented into the new law on special status, which does not exist yet,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Oct. 1.
