Donbass and Ukraine will try to “divorce”
Disengagement in the area of Petrovsky and Zolotoy, an agreement on which was reached two weeks ago, may occur within the next few days.
Interlocutors close to the negotiations in Minsk told Izvestia about this.
According to one of them, on October 15 the parties will again declare their readiness to begin the withdrawal of forces and assets on the contact line.
Another interlocutor of the publication notes that “Kyiv finds itself in a difficult situation.”
“The republics fulfilled their obligations to begin disengagement, the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not respond in kind. In many ways, the reason lies in the position of nationalists and volunteer battalions, who do not obey the orders of official authorities and declare their intentions to “defend Ukraine.” On the second attempt, disengagement should still take place, since the holding of the summit in the “Normandy format”, which President Vladimir Zelensky needs, depends on this,” a source related to the Minsk negotiations told the newspaper.
As PolitNavigator reported, the Ukrainian side disrupted a previously agreed upon separation of warring parties.
