According to the Vice Premier, the Cabinet will defrost budget financing of the occupied region only after legitimate elections and the disarmament of militants

Funding occupied by militants areas of Donbass Central government will become possible only after legitimate elections and adding weapons to the militants. This was stated by Vice Prime Minister, Minister of regional development, construction and housing and utilities Volodymyr Groysman in an interview with Zerkalo Nedeli.

"Now we physically cannot Finance these territories occupied by terrorists. Only after legitimate elections and the addition of weapons. And it is really logical. Though really hard against the people of the East. But one small example: we have long been ready to 800 tons of humanitarian aid to the residents of the occupied territories. However, we can't get over there. This is the reality - and this was their choice," he said.

In the opinion of Groisman, military actions in the region it is impossible to achieve resolution of the situation. "Force taking into account the factor of Russia are not equal. Moreover, with each death of a civilian and soldier gap between East and Ukraine will only grow. She is still growing as people still die. Therefore, only the negotiations and a clear strategy of influence. As for the militants and the region and in Russia. And, thank God, we got there and assistance in the EU and worldwide," said Deputy Prime Minister.
