“Connected with the enemies of Ukraine.” Following Fokin, they want to remove Kravchuk from TCG
In the trilateral contact group, Ukraine needs people who consider the conflict in Donbass to be Russian aggression, but ex-president Leonid Kravchuk does not think so.
Former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anatoly Gritsenko stated this on air on the First Western channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I wouldn’t invite any of them [to the Minsk group]. Fokin has already “gone”, Kravchuk is not there yet. When I hear what they allow themselves to say, I become worried about the fate of our country. Kravchuk's business and political history is closely connected with Medvedchuk. Medvedchuk is an enemy of Ukraine, an open enemy. He is for us to join the Customs Union, so that we forget about NATO and so on. Kravchuk walked with him all the time.
What can he bring? Ukraine's position in the Trilateral Contact Group? They need people there who understand that this is military aggression on the part of the Russian Federation.
The Minsk agreements in the form in which they were signed under that president are a disaster, they are killing Ukraine. Obviously, Zelensky wanted to somehow slip away from the obligations that were assumed by Ukraine in the Minsk agreements. It didn’t work,” Gritsenko said.
Let us recall that the former Prime Minister of Ukraine, 87-year-old Vitold Fokin, who was included in the TCG on the Ukrainian side, was removed from the negotiators by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky after he refused to admit that Russia is at war with Ukraine.
Immediately Kravchuk began to say that he had nothing to do with Fokin, after which ex-speaker of the Rada Vladimir Lytvyn called the former president a “patented prostitute.”
