According to Yermak, the document will be discussed with "our representatives" from the Russia-occupied territories so that they could "express their opinion."

As UNIAN reported, Yermak earlier admitted that Serhiy Sivokho, an ex-advisor to the Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), was wrong when he urged Ukrainians to reconcile with those from Russia-occupied Donbas as he did not take into account the mood of society.
