Russian Ambassador Voices Disappointment With Mogherini’s Interpretation of DPR, LPR Vote

BRUSSELS, November 3 (RIA Novosti) -Russia's Ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov told RIA Novosti Monday that he is disappointed with the way High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini has interpreted the elections in Donetsk and Luhansk.

"The vote, the way she sees it, was illegitimate and the EU will not recognize it. It is also claimed that the elections were held contrary to the spirit and the letter of the Minsk Protocol," Chizhov said. "I can voice concern with such an interpretation. And especially with an attempt to show it [the elections] as something that contradicts Minsk agreements," he added.
