Kyiv not to negotiate with self-proclaimed leaders of Donbas

"If you mean legitimate representatives of Donbas elected in fair and free elections, if you mean those who returned Ukrainian law to Donbas – we are not just prepared for direct dialogue, we must conduct it. If by representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk you mean those who came to power as a result of fake elections in November last year, then it is not a road forward," Klimkin said answering a question from a Russian reporter whether Kyiv is ready for a direct dialogue with representatives of Donetsk and Luhansk.
