The Donetsk People’s Republic supports the statement of the United Nations Security Council on the need for the expeditious implementation of the Minsk agreements and settlement of the conflict in Donbass. This was reported by the Chairman of the DPR People’s Council, the Permanent Plenipotentiary Representative of the DPR in the Contact Group’s negotiations in Minsk Denis Pushilin to the Donetsk News Agency.

Chairman of the DPR People's Council, Permanent Representative of the DPR to the talks of the Contact Group in Minsk Denis Pushilin told the RT about the readiness for provocations by the Ukrainian armed forces during the FIFA World Cup 2018. According to the plenipotentiary representative, there is a possibility of an AFU offensive on the DPR territory during the sports competition.

The proposal of the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov to prosecute the citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics for “collaborationism” contradicts the Minsk agreements and aims to incite hatred against the inhabitants of Donbass. This was reported by the DPR People’s Council deputy Valery Skorokhodov to RIA Novosti.
