KRAMATORSK, March 28 – President Petro Poroshenko said that he is ready to cooperate with local authorities in Donbas, which will be elected by the residents of this region.

"The Minsk agreements very clearly envisage the restoration of Ukraine's sovereignty in the occupied part of Donbas through the election process. If someone who has no blood on their hands, who has Ukraine in their heart, decides to take part in these elections and is elected by the people of Donbas, I, as president of Ukraine, will cooperate with them," Poroshenko said at a briefing in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region.
