Ukraine agrees to grant "special status" to rebellious east
KYIV, Sept 16 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s parliament passed a law
on Tuesday that will give “special status” to the
separatist-minded eastern regions including a degree of
self-governance for a three-year period, parliamentary deputies,
who attended the closed session, said.
A second law that was passed would grant an amnesty to
separatists who were involved in recent fighting with government
forces, the deputies told Reuters.
