Only #Russia is acting openly in the negotiation process aimed at settling the conflict with #Ukraine, Denis Pushilin, head of the #Donetsk People’s Republic, told TASS in an interview. “Only our country is acting consistently, stating everything openly: what is needed, why it is needed, and how issues should be resolved to achieve full-fledged peace,” Pushilin noted. He emphasized that all previous similar attempts at negotiations have failed to produce results.
