Ukrainian official says Minister Kornet who led coup in Luhansk has 3,000 people under his command
There are about three thousand people now subordinated to the "Minister of Internal Affairs" of the self-proclaimed "Luhansk People's Republic," Igor Kornet, as announced by the Deputy Minister for the Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons, Heorhiy Tuka on the Freedom of Speech program on channel ICTV.
"When Kornet became ‘Minister of the Internal Affairs,’ he had 219 subordinates; today there are about three thousand people in his divisions," Tuka stated.
Tuka says agents of the Russian Federation are present throughout the territory of Ukraine now. "They are in the media; they are in power structures, in law enforcement agencies, in people who position themselves as public figures," Tuka noted.
Earlier, Tuka stated that Ukraine would not recognize the “higher education diplomas" of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.
He met with representatives of international humanitarian organizations several times where the possibility of recognizing the " higher education diplomas" of the DPR or LPR was discussed with Ukraine.
