Today, internally displaced persons from Donbass gathered near the Cabinet of Minister of Ukraine and demanded the implementation of a programme called “Affordable Housing”, the essence of which was that the state would undertake to recompense half the cost of purchased housing or a claimant would be provided with mortgage loan with lower interest rates.

Attempts to rewrite the history of the Great Patriotic War and the abandonment of one's history became one of the reasons for the crisis of Ukrainian statehood, Miroslav Rudenko, the deputy of the DPR People's Council, the chairman of the Committee on Education, Science and Culture, said on the air of the On the Same Page programme of Kometa radio station.

In Lugansk, the People's Tribunal pronounced a guilty verdict against the representatives of the Kiev authorities for war crimes. Pyotr Poroshenko, Alexander Turchinov, Andrey Parubiy, Stepan Poltorak, Victor Muzhenko, Vladimir Groisman, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Arsen Avakov were sentenced to life imprisonment for all crimes with confiscation of all personal property.

Pressure on the Donbass residents by the Ukrainian special services with the appointment of a former employee of the Security Service for the post of head of the Donetsk Civil and Military Administration will only intensify. This was stated to RIA Novosti by chairman of the Donetsk People's Republic's People's Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Construction Vladimir Bidyovka.

Protest actions took place in the Ukrainian capital demanding to maintain benefits for Chernobyl clean-up and Afghan War veterans. Miners, who wanted to get their legally earned wages, joined the protest as well. Talking heads, which were sent by the authority to placate the crowd, once again made promises in exchange for stopping the protest.

The DPR People’s Council deputy Alexander Kostenko commented on the results of the parliamentarian meeting of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics’ deputies in a programme called “Important topic” on a radio station “Comet”.

According to the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, more than 50 cases involving the use of weapons against civilians and the participation of “ATO” veterans in the events that led to civilian casualties were registered in 2017 in Ukraine.

The State Statistics Service of Ukraine published new data on the demographic situation in the country. The gap between the number of deaths and those born increased: 54 newborns per 100 deceased. The saddest thing about all this is that such news for the population of Ukraine is expected, while nobody is even trying to remedy the situation.

DPR People's Council deputy Vladislav Berdichevsky in the programme "On the same page" on the Kometa radio station commented on the reasons that, in the opinion of the parliamentarian, led to an armed confrontation in the Donbass.

The proposal of the Ukrainian party on the deployment of "blue helmets" to the Donbass has no legal justification, Vladislav Berdichevsky, deputy chairman of the People's Council Committee on Foreign Policy, International Relations, Information Policy and Information Technologies, told Komsomolskaya Pravda.
