Militants of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic" may claim openly to seizure of the territory of Kherson region. It was stated by leader of the "DPR" Alexander Zakharchenko during the so-called on-line conference with residents of Kherson region, - reports separatist DAN website.
"We do recognize that we are successor of the Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Republic. It means that the entire territory of the DKRR is ours. Kherson region and many other settlements are the territory we may openly claim," - he said.
