Despite the agreements reached on the disengagement of troops at three hot spots of the front in the Donbass, Kyiv does not demonstrate a readiness to begin to implement the political points of the Minsk agreements, and the media controlled by Petro Poroshenko continue to promote not reconciliation, but hatred towards supporters of the LDPR.
Evgeny Orlov, deputy of the People’s Council of the DPR, told PolitNavigator about this.

“The agreement on the arms separation coincided with Biden’s sensational statement for Ukraine, which he voiced after his meeting with Poroshenko, about his readiness to grant the Republics a special status. In general, one can perceive the position of Kyiv, which made concessions, as the implementation of the US plan to partially soften its policy towards the Russian Federation.
We support any real actions to implement Minsk - we have been talking for two years now that the agreements need to be implemented. If today Kyiv is ready to negotiate on some points, we can only welcome this. Although in general it can be noted that the agreements reached so far do not significantly change the situation, since the front line is very long.
In addition, the signing of an arms separation agreement is only the first step, which Ukraine must consolidate with further actions.
If we talk about changing Kyiv’s position, it should begin with a change in attitude towards the civil conflict in Ukraine itself. For example, on the 5th TV channel, owned by Poroshenko, they still talk about “Russian troops”, and they call us “terrorists”. Those. the information agenda does not change. This suggests that Ukraine is not preparing for any serious changes.
First of all, the question needs to be asked whether Ukraine’s sponsors are interested in resolving the conflict in Donbass, since Ukraine itself is not a sovereign state. Elections will soon be held in America; it is still unclear who will become the next president, and Ukraine’s further actions depend on this. Until this moment, Kyiv’s position will be in limbo,” says the Donetsk deputy.
