According to Gerashchenko, active negotiations are currently underway to restart the Minsk groups.
“I want to inform you that today I wrote a statement as President Petro Poroshenko’s representative for the peaceful resolution of the situation in Donbass and the representative of Ukraine in the humanitarian subgroup asking to be relieved of these positions,” the vice speaker noted.
She added that she expressed special gratitude to Poroshenko for the “high honor of working in his team.”
Gerashchenko also emphasized that she would assist the elected President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in every possible way in resolving issues regarding the Minsk groups.
“We remain open to the new government in order to contribute to the resolution of those issues that will arise in the format of the Minsk groups. But it’s obvious that a reboot needs to happen,” she clarified.
