Ukraine faces sanctions for withdrawing from negotiations in Minsk
Kyiv's official statement about the refusal of the Minsk negotiations on the peaceful resolution of the conflict in Donbass should have consequences for Ukraine.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, said the representative of the LPR at the negotiations, adviser to the head of the republic Rodion Miroshnik.
“First of all, we need to return to Minsk. Secondly, it is necessary to put an end to the remote format, in which Ukrainian negotiators constantly involve a dozen strangers, thereby excluding any confidentiality. The very topic of moving was sucked out of thin air by Reznik. This is just another reason to disrupt negotiations and plunge Donbass into war,” the Lugansk politician told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
He also criticized the statement of the Ukrainian side, which accused Belarus of being biased.
“It was Kyiv who called Lukashenko “Russia’s lackey,” and it was Kyiv who was convicted of organizing a provocation with the participation of Russians in Minsk in August 2020. In turn, Lukashenko did an excellent job of providing a negotiating platform for resolving the conflict in Donbass and is able to do this in the future. If representatives of Kyiv really refuse to go to negotiations in Minsk, then within the framework of the “Normandy format” we should agree on sanctions against Ukraine,” Miroshnik concluded.
As PolitNavigator reported, the refusal of the Minsk negotiation platform said Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov, according to whom Kyiv can no longer trust Belarus.
It is noteworthy that earlier Reznikov called Donbass a “cancerous tumor.”
