Poroshenko created a serious legal problem for Ukraine
If the Verkhovna Rada supports Petro Poroshenko’s draft law and declares Russia an “occupier” in the Donbass, Kyiv will face a serious legal problem - such an interpretation will grossly contradict the Minsk agreements approved by the UN Security Council, which take precedence over national legislation.
Political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko told PolitNavigator about this.

“The laws of Ukraine have no international significance. Now it's their problem. If they have an “aggressor” and “occupied territories,” then let them declare war on the “aggressor,” or let them start negotiations with this “aggressor”?
This bill certainly contradicts the Minsk agreements. Poroshenko is afraid that he will be overthrown, he is trying to sit
Who were they negotiating with in Minsk? Agreements were signed with the DPR and LPR. And if Russia attacked them, then let them come and say: “We are leaving the Minsk agreements, because the aggressor country is the guarantor of the Minsk agreements, we cannot be in such an international regime, we will conduct direct negotiations with Russia to She stopped her aggression.”
Please let them do so. They created a legal problem for themselves, first of all.
The West does not want Ukraine to leave Minsk. The West will have to explain why Ukraine is doing this. Of course, Ukraine is now simply engaged in self-isolation - gradually it will be isolated internationally,” Ishchenko said.
