MOSCOW. Feb 15 (Interfax) - The decision by Russian parliamentarians to submit a letter about the need to recognize the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic to Russian President Vladimir Putin will prompt no revision of the Minsk Agreements, State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Leonid Slutsky said.
"I don't think Minsk 2 will be subjected to any revisions because of this, although it is much likely that Kyiv and Kyiv's Western tutors will call for doing so," Slutsky said when asked about it by Interfax on Tuesday.
"There is simply no other basis, no other coordination system for the normalization of relations in Ukraine between Kyiv and the southeast," he said.
"I believe the leaders of the Normandy Format states will remain on the same page as we are," he said.
"We have no other basis for the normalization of relations in Ukraine, apart from the Minsk Agreements, anyway," Slutsky said.
