Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko vowed to restore sovereignty over the country's eastern regions after the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic proclaimed the creation of a new state called Malorossiya.
East Ukraine's self-proclaimed DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko proposed on Tuesday a three-year transition period toward a new state called Malorossiya ("Little Russia") as a way to settle the three-year conflict. Noting that discussions within the DPR had "come to the conclusion that Ukraine has shown itself as a failed state," he called on the international community to support his proposal.
"The 'Novorossiya' project was buried. Ukraine will restore sovereignty over Donbass and Crimea," Poroshenko's spokesman Svyatoslav Tsegolko quoted the president a saying on Twitter.
