Donetsk and Lugansk republics form ‘Novorossiya’ union
Self-proclaimed
Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics which recently held
referenda on independence from Ukraine have declared the creation of
Novorossiya union.
“We
have signed a memorandum on the union,” Denis Pushilin, co-chairman
of the Donetsk People’s Republic, told the media.
The
new union will be called Novorossiya, said the people’s governor of
the Donetsk Region, Pavel Gubarev.
He
added that the document was signed in the city of Donetsk by Donetsk
People’s Republic Prime Minister Aleksandr Borodai and the head of
Lugansk People’s Republic Aleksey Karyakin.
People’s
representatives from eight Ukrainian regions gathered for a congress
in Donetsk on Saturday, a day ahead of scheduled countrywide
presidential elections.
As
a result of the congress, the south-eastern regions of Ukraine, where
anti-government protests gained momentum, have announced the creation
of a pro-federalization Popular Front socio-political coalition. The
movement accepted a manifesto vowing self-determination and
protection of people from “Nazi gangs’ terror.”
The
coalition involves Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye,
Kharkov, Kherson, Donetsk and Lugansk Regions.
At
the congress, all 145 delegates accepted the manifesto, which
stresses that the Popular Front will consist of “everybody, who is
ready to resist self-appointed Kiev authority, which started war
against the people.”
The
coalition vowed to protect innocent civilians from the “terror of
Nazi gangs, financed by oligarchs and foreign security services.”
It also pledges “a joint fight for people’s rights to a decent
life.”
It
says it has launched an investigative commission that will probe
“crimes of Nazi-terrorists and their Kiev patrons”.
The
coalition is calling for a boycott of the presidential election,
which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, because “all major
candidates” are “oligarchs, whom we have already seen in top
positions, hence, robbery and terror would continue,” the manifesto
said.
When
it comes to a new Ukrainian constitution, the Popular Front demands
that it guarantees “neutrality” and nonparticipation in military
blocks as well as “political independence”, “mechanisms to stop
corruption and massive poverty.”
The
coalition also demands that the parliament consists of two chambers.
At the same time, regions must be given “a right to autonomy” and
“independent foreign-economic activity”.
In
addition to that, regional governments must be given a right to
“announce its territory de-militarized zones and also “ban
political, social and religious organizations on its territory” in
case they are considered a “threat” to the people.
The
Popular Front wants two official languages in Ukraine – Ukrainian
and Russian.
Lugansk
and Donetsk People’s Republics earlier announced they will not
participate in Ukraine’s presidential elections scheduled for May
25.
