Medvedchuk’s meeting with separatist leaders is the beginning of negotiations to create a Ukrainian Transnistria; we can assume that this is known to the Kyiv authorities.

As has become known to dsnews.ua, multilateral agreements on the creation of a quasi-state formation in parts of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts has been the main topic of negotiations. Today Medvedchuk (a Ukrainian citizen and the leader of Ukrainian Party) is to tell the separatists that Russia isn’t going to agree to uniting this region with the Russian Federation.
