The subversives have refused to attend the negotiattions.
They were invited.
“Separatists, who declared “sovereignty” in two eastern Ukrainian regions this week, dismissed the talks in Kiev.”
It seems the subversives do not wish to be part of the elections...reason..read below from the Post article...polls indicate that they will lose big.
“Taruta said he is in regular contact with the separatists, mainly over the issue of freeing hostages. But he said the makeup of the separatist negotiating team keeps changing because of internal power struggles, with no clear center of decision-making power.
“The problem is our opponents,” he said. “They don’t have one single representative who has the rights and responsibility to implement any agreements.”
***Separatist leaders in Donetsk and Luhansk were adamant that the Ukrainian elections would not take place in their regions.”***
Well, these "subversives" in Donetsk, look like ordinary people to me. And after Kiev sent APC's, attack helicopters and tanks into their areas, is it any wonder they don't want anything to do with Kiev? I'm reminded of when Lincoln sent troops marching to Fort Sumter, and that turned many southern people against the north. Sending the military to shoot up where you live does that.
