KYIV, Feb 14 - The adoption of resolutions in the State Duma of the Russian Federation for recognizing Donetsk and Luhansk separatist authorities would mean Russia's explicit rejection of the Minsk agreement, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak said in a comment to Interfax-Ukraine on Monday.

He recalled the steps taken earlier - "compulsory issue of passports in the occupied territories, and the strengthening of the ruble zone, and the actual connection of the occupation structures to the administrative system of Russia." "All this is not only not provided for by Minsk, but contradicts it," adviser to the head of the President’s Office said.
