Deputy Secretary of Council of national security and defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Sergey Krivonos allows for the convening of the meeting of the NSDC in connection with the decision of the Russian authorities to simplify the issuing of Russian passports to residents of certain regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions according to the results of the meeting of the UN security Council.

“We are waiting for the meeting of the security Council (the UN security Council – Interfax), which will be held at 22:00 Kyiv time, and after the meeting and from the response that the international community will show at this meeting, I think there will be a meeting of the Council of national security and defense of Ukraine”, – he told on air “the 5th channel” on Thursday evening.

In his opinion, the decision of the Russian authorities to simplify the issuing of Russian passports to residents of certain regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, demonstrates the desire of Russia to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.

At the same time, he noted that he does not believe that this can be a prerequisite for the accession of these territories to Russia, as it will be a very large burden on its economy: “This is more influence (in Ukraine – if), and not implementing these intentions (attach area – Interfax)”.
