The Rada announced the continuation of deaths in Donbass
Until in Donbass keep shooting, Kyiv supposedly cannot afford such “concessions to Moscow” and peace initiatives as a new withdrawal of troops or a constructive discussion of the Minsk agreements.
Deputy from European Solidarity Irina Gerashchenko stated this during a plenary meeting of the Verkhovna Rada,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Our political force proposes to hold an extraordinary meeting of parliament this week, at which to adopt two important resolutions - on the anniversary of the “revolution of dignity” and on the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea. Let me remind you that the orders that Putin issued for the return of Crimea are dated February 20, 2014.
Today's military provocation is not just that. KGBists are very fond of symbolic dates. This is a reminder of the Maidan, where Russia and the Kremlin were also behind it. And only a masochist can see the world in Putin’s eyes.
A year ago, President Zelensky promised that he had a peace strategy. A year later in Munich, he admitted that he does not have any strategy, and his tactics are general patrols of our military, National Guardsmen and militants, who today, from five in the morning, are shelling disengagement sites near Zolote.
Do you know that since this morning we have had several dead and wounded, and Ukraine has lost two of our strongholds. Who will return them?
How, under these conditions, can you prepare breeding in Gnutovo and prepare several more points in Minsk? Why is the UN Security Council being held today on Russia’s initiative, and not on Ukraine’s initiative, where we should whip Russia for failure to comply with every point of the Minsk agreements,” Gerashchenko said.
In turn, deputy from the Golos faction Sergei Rakhmanin said that the aggravation in Donbass is the price of troop withdrawal and other peaceful initiatives.
“What is happening today in the Zolote area is the price we pay for our concessions, the price for breeding. This is the price for concessions in order for the next meeting in the Normandy format to take place.
How many more people must die for us to understand that any concession is our weakness. There should be no concession until the shooting stops, until Russia stops shooting. And as long as we make concessions, deaths will continue,” the parliamentarian threatened.
