The Kremlin made it clear that if Ukraine raises the level of representation at these negotiations from the leader of the public organization “Ukrainian Choice” Viktor Medvedchuk to official representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the Presidential Administration, then the militia will stop its ongoing offensive, which has every chance of becoming successful.

Moscow is assessing with “cautious optimism” the meeting that took place in Donetsk, at which the Ukrainian side, at the direction of President Petro Poroshenko, was represented by the leader of the public organization “Ukrainian Choice” Viktor Medvedchuk, with the leadership of the DPR and LPR Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky, they report "Vedomosti" with reference to Interfax and the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.
The meeting represented preliminary consultations preceding negotiations in the Minsk format, and its holding “was determined primarily by the fact that, against the backdrop of offensive actions by the Ukrainian side, representatives of the DPR and LPR, as is known, expressed extreme skepticism regarding the prospects of the Minsk process,” Peskov noted.
Representatives of the militias at the Minsk negotiations, Denis Pushilin and Vladislav Deinego, also attended the consultations in Donetsk.
“Moscow regrets that representatives of the Ukrainian military and adviser to the President of Ukraine Ruslan Demchenko, who were previously scheduled to participate in the Donetsk meeting, changed their decision at the last moment and did not come to the negotiations,” Peskov said.
“Moscow hopes that the discussion that began in Donetsk during preliminary consultations will be continued, in particular, on topics such as a ceasefire, the withdrawal of artillery and missile systems from the demarcation line, the start of work to determine the demarcation line, and the exchange of prisoners.” , noted the press secretary of the Russian president.
“In many ways, the achievement of these goals will be facilitated by Kiev’s appointment of an official representative at the negotiations in Minsk,” he believes.
