Yatsenyuk imagined the devil
Russia is preparing a trap in the UN Security Council when voting for resolutions regarding the introduction of peacekeepers into Donbass.
The former Prime Minister of Ukraine, leader of the Popular Front party, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, stated this in an interview with the Kyiv magazine Focus.
“I insisted on removing the Minsk agreements from national legislation. Because for me they are not an international legal document,” Yatsenyuk said.
According to him, the best implementation of the peace process is that “Russia should simply get out of the territory of Ukraine.”
He also said that the idea of sending peacekeepers to Donbass sounds good, but supposedly “the devil is in the details.”
“You have to understand, this peacekeeping mission will be aimed at freezing the conflict and legalizing the Russian presence through pseudo-elections, pseudo-police, pseudo-courts and pseudo-special status for Donbass?” asks the ex-prime minister.
“I guarantee that the Russians will set a trap when voting for the UN Security Council resolution on peacekeepers. And they will insert into the mandate of the peacekeeping mission their interpretation of the Minsk agreements, which is aimed at only one thing: the legalization of the Russian enclave on Ukrainian territory, only under the auspices of peacekeepers and by decision of the UN Security Council. This cannot be allowed,” Yatsenyuk urged.
Let us note that the Minsk agreements, which provide for the creation of its own police and courts in Donbass and which Yatsenyuk does not consider an international legal document, were approved by a UN Security Council resolution, the implementation of which is mandatory for Ukraine as a state that has signed the UN Charter.
