[Speaking hypothetically] So if we say [accept] it's in Russia's interest to say:

0:00:03.880,0:00:09.100
"we recognize and consider you [DNR] are holding this election" as one of the few [countries]

0:00:09.120,0:00:15.460
But if we look at the citizens - and I sometimes think we have a tendency to forget the citizens - the people

0:00:15.640,0:00:20.140
If the is a majority who wants to be a part of Russia [Goal of "pro-Russian separatists" in Danish media]

0:00:20.140,0:00:25.620
Is it not somewhat more "democratic" - because they didn't vote - at least not a lot of them

0:00:25.980,0:00:29.260
In the recent Ukranian parliament election

0:00:29.300,0:00:35.800
So what ... well... don't we risk deepening the ditch [Danish saying meaning moving away from compromize]

0:00:35.800,0:00:39.640
between the Eastern Ukrainians and the rest of the country if we just reject this election?

0:00:39.640,0:00:45.120
No.. well. Of course it's always the civilians who are caught in conflicts of this kind

0:00:45.120,0:00:48.480
and they're held as a kind of hostages.

0:00:48.480,0:00:53.020
But to hold an election is not in itself any guarantee that it's a democratic election

0:00:53.020,0:00:57.160
because we don't know what they can choose from

0:00:58.940,0:01:00.940
who it is - sorry

0:01:01.040,0:01:03.040
who they can vote for

0:01:03.040,0:01:05.680
and this is the dilemma.

0:01:05.680,0:01:08.380
that it is a part of a game

0:01:08.560,0:01:11.320
a political game and with a clear goal

0:01:11.320,0:01:16.380
For example - maybe we have not heard much about this -

0:01:16.380,0:01:20.960
but I have seen this on the Russian and Ukrainian social media - that these humanitarian aid convoys

0:01:20.960,0:01:24.040
they are now driving [arriving / delivering ] on a daily basis

0:01:24.040,0:01:27.600
and the other day ... there was a

0:01:27.600,0:01:33.440
convoy, a 1 kilometer long convoy of military vehicles driving through Donetsk

0:01:34.000,0:01:37.560
Russian military vehicles with weapons.

0:01:38.140,0:01:42.880
So there is something happening that we don't hear much about

0:01:42.880,0:01:46.740
and clearly .. ehh .. the people as they say: "as long as there will be peace"

0:01:47.360,0:01:51.760
this is the most important issue for them because it's over 4,000 people

0:01:51.760,0:01:58.300
or around 4,000 people who has perished in a couple of months - both civilians and among soldiers

0:01:58.300,0:02:04.600
so it is significant looses, it serious, it is deadly serious

0:02:04.600,0:02:10.100
so it could [hypothetically] be a point to say "as long as there will be peace".

0:02:10.100,0:02:13.040
What we must say from the outside [of the conflict as objective spectators] is

0:02:13.080,0:02:16.300
"What terms are this happening under?" And I would say that

0:02:16.300,0:02:20.840
since none of the international organizations have approved

0:02:21.260,0:02:25.720
it is tainted, it is questionable and it's part of a completely other plan

0:02:25.720,0:02:29.620
than just creating a democratic rule and a democratic election.

0:02:30.460,0:02:32.460
