Saldo: recognition of new regions will be the starting position in talks with Kiev
Kiev’s recognition of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the DPR, LPR and Crimea as integral parts of the Russian Federation is the initial position for the start of negotiations with Ukraine, Governor of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo told RIA Novosti.
“The starting position for negotiations is the recognition by the other side of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as integral parts of the Russian Federation. There is nothing to say about Crimea – it is Russia a priori. We can start talking from here,” Saldo told the agency.
