We support the holding of local elections throughout the territory controlled by Ukraine in the region. Donetsk military-civil administration and the entire team of the President in the Donetsk region held a series of consultations with the joint forces command and the anti-terrorist center of the SBU to create a safe environment for expression in the frontal areas. We voiced our General and principled elections in Donbass to be held, without exception,” – said in a statement.
