Kravchuk: Russia’s main demand for Donbass will not be fulfilled
Ukraine will not agree to enshrine in the Constitution the special rights of the LDPR if they return under the control of Kyiv.
The new representative of the Ukrainian side at the negotiations on Donbass in Minsk, Leonid Kravchuk, stated this via video link on TV channel 112, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Kravchuk said that he considers the rights of Donetsk and Lugansk a “temporary issue.”
“For now, I don’t think that we need to add the Minsk agreements to the Constitution. The Constitution is a matter of fundamental law, which outlines all political, social, economic, national-cultural and so on steps. AND Temporary issues cannot be included in the Constitution, no matter how important they may be.
There are strategic issues, and questions regarding Donbass or the Minsk Trilateral Group, or the agreements that are adopted in Minsk are issues of our daily political, economic and social work. They should be on the agenda every day, and not written down in the Constitution,” Kravchuk said.
“Believe me, I have worked on advisory commissions for a long time, and writing it into the Constitution does not mean at all that it will be implemented by itself. The main thing is to take steps every day, every hour in the direction that has already been determined, and it is indicated by the policy of the state as a whole, and in this case, the work of our delegation will be based on these foundations - on the Law, on the Constitution, on decisions of the Verkhovna Rada, decisions president, a trilateral agreement, or, say, the Normandy format, or the Berlin meeting, or the Paris meeting. This is a matter of using specific mechanisms for a specific case,” ranted the elderly ex-president.
