KIEV, Sept. 9 – Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has warned that any plan to hold elections in areas in Donetsk and Luhansk regions temporarily uncontrolled by the Ukrainian government would lead to the disruption of the Minsk agreements.

"Any attempts by the Russian Federation (because Russian mercenaries operate in Donetsk and Luhansk) to hold any illegal elections in these territories would mean the full and total disruption of the Minsk agreements," Yatseniuk said following a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz in Warsaw on Wednesday.
