From the first day in his new position, Kravchuk is no worse than Zelensky
The Minsk negotiations will become much more effective if more representatives of France and Germany are invited to the working group, since these countries are members of the Normandy Four.
He announced this via video link on air on the NTA TV channel yesterday. Head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG at the negotiations on Donbass in Minsk, the first President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, reports the PolitNavigator correspondent.
“If you carefully follow the Minsk negotiations, you will see that Ukraine, Russia and the OSCE are present there. And the Minsk trilateral group was created not just as some kind of autonomous structure. It was created to develop proposals and mechanisms for resolving issues that are adopted by the heads of state of the Normandy Four.
That’s why I asked the question earlier, and now I will pose this question: if a group implements or is called upon to help implement the decisions of the “four,” then representatives of the “four,” that is, both Germany and France, should be present there. Then, logically and politically, we have a slightly different group format, because Russia says: we are there, but we are not there,” said the ex-president.
“That’s why I say: we need to look at the composition, reconsider some issues and, on the basis of this, create such an organizational force and structure on a European and global scale that could influence the peace process, not just with words, but with real deeds,” added Leonid Kravchuk.
Let us recall that last year, current President Vladimir Zelensky supported the idea proposed by his predecessor Petro Poroshenko expand the composition of participants in the Normandy format at the expense of the USA and Great Britain.
In fact, all of Ukraine’s initiatives in the Minsk negotiations are a cover for their delay and disruption of the implementation of agreements providing for the beginning of the federalization of the former Soviet republic.
