Kravchuk called the condition of Kiev’s refusal from the Minsk format of negotiations

Kiev, November 9, 2020, 09:07 – REGNUM Ukraine will look for a new format of negotiations on Donbass, if it will be “led by the nose” within the framework of the Minsk format. This was stated by the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG), ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk on November 8 in an interview with TASS.

“We propose concrete steps, and if we are led by the nose from the other side, only the prerequisites for stopping these steps are sought, then we must close the Minsk process and look for other forms of influence,” he said.

Kravchuk noted that he expresses his personal point of view, but will make every effort for the Ukrainian leadership to find new international formats for resolving the conflict in Donbass.

“In Minsk, we still see continuous accusations from the Ukrainian side that we are doing everything wrong. I cannot agree with this, ”the politician added.

According to him, a compromise is possible if, in violation of the Minsk agreements, control over the border between Russia and Donbass is given to Ukraine, and “illegal armed groups” are withdrawn from the region.

“If they (representatives of Donbass – IA REGNUM) do not change anything, but will demand the mechanical implementation of what was adopted six years ago, then there is nothing further to talk about,” concluded Kravchuk.

As reported by IA REGNUM, earlier Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine for the reintegration of the “temporarily occupied” territories Alexey Reznikov said that Ukraine had almost fulfilled all the conditions of the Normandy Four summit in Paris and was ready for a new meeting in this format.
