In addition, the MPs ask the head of state to consider holding talks with the leadership of the breakaway republics as soon as possible to create a legal basis for interstate relations to regulate all aspects of cooperation and mutual assistance, including security issues.
As the authors of the appeal note, the current authorities of Ukraine have become intolerant of the historically established norms of life, nor do they accept the will and religion of those residing in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, having forced residents of individual regions to hold a referendum in May 2014 to vote for their self-identification.
The residents of the unrecognized republics have been living under shellfire for eight years, whereas the Ukrainian authorities do not comply with the Minsk agreements designed to resolve the crisis in Donbass, the MPs said. Russia has taken a number of measures to provide humanitarian assistance to Donetsk and Luhansk. Democratic bodies and states with all attributes of legitimate power have been built in the republics, they added.
If Russia recognises the republics, it will create grounds to guarantee security and protect their peoples against external threats and genocide. It will also strengthen international peace and regional stability in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. To crown it all, Russia's move to recognise the breakaway republics will initiate the international recognition of the territories, members of the Communist Party believe.
Back in early December, Kremlin's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that it was still difficult to predict prospects for the recognition of the breakaway republics. According to Peskov, the process to resolve the intra-Ukrainian conflict is being dragged out. It reaches an impasse in many aspects, Peskov added.
