Vitalii Bezghin, a people’s deputy of Ukraine, the head of the sub-committee on the administrative and territorial arrangement, having met heads of the district hromadas, claims that he supports the clear-cut message of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine: « The attempts of interfering into the internal affairs of Ukraine are absolutely unacceptable for us».

«Decentralisation itself is aimed at making services accessible for people, delegating more powers and resources for development. So, it is impossible for decentralization to suppress any ethnic group or territories, just on the contrary it contributes to the local self-government and hromadas development», - wrote Vitalii Bezghin in his Facebook-page.
