This was stated by the Chairman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matvienko.
“As for referendums: there is no need to force, no need to coerce anyone. It should be a free expression of will of inhabitants of Donetsk and Luhansk, other regions, if such will take place. If the residents of these territories express such a desire, an aspiration, then Russia will support any decision they take. This should be the will of the people of these territories,” she said.
