“President Zelensky would like to have a final solution to the issue in the east and a finished war,” UNIAN quotes Priestayko.

He noted that the Ukrainian side has been negotiating for the sixth year regarding the end of the war.

The minister also added that if you look at things realistically, then at best it will be possible to consolidate the progress made.

Earlier, the US State Department’s special envoy for Ukraine, Kurt Volker, said that in order to end the conflict in the Donbass, it is necessary to comply with all points of the Minsk agreements, including the one regarding the special status of Donbass.
