Bezsmertny: Elections in east Ukraine impossible this or next year

“Anyone who understands this process knows that elections in parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions will not be held either this or next year. At least 3 or 5 years are needed to prepare public opinion, to solve the problems of safety, to ensure demilitarization, demobilization, to restore minimum sovereignty,” he said in an interview with the European Truth online media. At the same time, he believes, such figures derive from similar situations in most of similar conflicts and the speeding up of political process to solve relevant issues will cause the escalation of the conflict.
