In his article, a translation of which was published on the website of channel 112, the presidential official claims that there is no question of Ukraine abandoning European integration.
“Rejection of European integration would be political suicide for any politician in Ukraine who would dare to decide on such a sharp turn, especially after the Revolution of Dignity and the need for modernization and reform,” writes Eliseev.
He also opposed the elections in Donbass, the holding of which is prescribed by the Minsk agreements.
“No elections in Donbass as long as Russian boots remain on Ukrainian soil. Ukraine advocates holding local elections, but only on the basis of Ukrainian law and OSCE standards. The Kremlin would certainly like to legalize its hybrid occupation and puppet regimes in Donbass through Ukrainian hands. But no one should fall into this trap, writes the deputy head of the presidential administration.
