Donetsk, June 29, the Donetsk News Agency

The terms of carrying out constitutional reform in Ukraine had been provisioned by the Minsk Agreement, but Kiev intentionally lingers with the process, told DNA the leader of the DPR delegation in the Minsk Talks, Deputy Chairman of the People’s Council Denis Pushilin.

President Petro Poroshenko is expected to submit the Draft Amendments to the Constitution to the parliament of Ukraine later this week. Speaker and the Head of the Constitutional Committee Vladimir Groysman claimed in this regard that Kiev needs several years to adopt new laws of the country to the new edition of the governing law.

“I judge from the perspective of the Minsk Agreement, which clearly states that Ukraine is to carry out the constitutional reform, agreed upon by the DPR and LPR, and which regularizes the terms in which Kiev should carry it out”, — Pushilin reminded.

According to paragraph 11 of the Set of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreement, the deadline for the enactment of the new Constitution is the end of 2015.

Pushilin remarked that the present-day policy of Ukraine is nothing more than evident delaying of the process of conflict settlement in Donbass. “This can be and should be considered not only delay of the negotiation process, but the direct failure to adhere to the agreement on the peaceful settlement of the conflict”, — Deputy Chairman of the DPR People’s Council concluded.
