The meeting in the “Normandy format” will be purely demonstrative, since the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France have already agreed on everything in advance, and the agreements reached will not please Ukrainian nationalists.
Ex-Deputy Minister for “Occupied Territories” Georgiy Tuka stated this on the YouTube channel “Apostrophe,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As an optimist, I hope that this meeting will not happen. Nobody sees any positive results from the meeting itself. If we talk about the theses that the Russians can offer, over the last week or two they have not offered or demonstrated their position.
Two or three days ago, Alexey Chesnakov, who in Russia is called “the language of Surkov,” noted on his Twitter that the text of the final document, which all four presidents must sign, has already been agreed upon, and this text has already been agreed upon by the advisers of all four presidents.
Who on the Ukrainian side acts as a communicator and ratifier? Not Prystaiko, but Ermak. Ermak is a man who was publicly accused of having connections with the intelligence services of the Russian Federation and collaborating with Rosoboronprom...
On the other hand, the counterpart to communication with Ermak is Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak. I would like to remind listeners and viewers that Dmitry Kozak is the author of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.
And what do I see? There are two vectors of communication, and after a certain time I hear from Zelensky about freezing the conflict. Isn’t this the construction of the PMR on the territory of Ukraine?” the ex-official lamented.
In his opinion, the idea of creating a second Transnistria in Ukraine is also supported by the fact that Moscow persistently seeks direct negotiations between Kyiv and the governments of the Donbass republics.
“I would like to note how the Russians managed to once again put our inexperienced government on the ropes. About a month ago, Peskov said that the current law on the peculiarities of self-government does not suit Moscow, because the final provisions of the current law contain security components that Russia does not want to agree to.
It states that before the elections, demilitarization, the withdrawal of illegal armed groups, weapons and everything else must be carried out. Thus, Peskov announces that Moscow is not satisfied with the current law.
About three days later, sharp statements are heard from the so-called leaders - one and two: “Our ultimate goal is integration into Russia. We are not going to think about any return to Ukraine.” Now Putin is voicing the idea that only the current law, without any changes.
Thus, any action of the Ukrainian government - prolongation of the current law or an attempt to build a new one - will be perceived negatively.
For example, Ukraine is once again prolonging the current law. The Kremlin says: “Okay, we agree.” And then two boys from the casket, the heads of the occupation administrations: “But we don’t.” And the 145th attempt by the Russians to bring Kyiv into direct dialogue with Lugansk and Donetsk begins...
They will always try to bring us into direct negotiations. This is the scenario of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic,” summed up Tuka.
Let us recall that earlier Georgy Tuka also stated that Russia does not see the point in a full-scale attack on Ukraine, because there is no need for this - Kyiv itself is losing ground.
