“The demand for the dissolution of the DPR and LPR would be deliberately unacceptable. It makes the Minsk agreements senseless and impracticable, since these two republics are parties to the agreements, ”the senator wrote on Twitter.

Strange maneuvers in Kiev: did they really decide to hammer the door to the peace process with nails? The demand for the dissolution of the DPR and LPR would be deliberately unacceptable. It makes the Minsk Agreements senseless and impracticable, because these two republics are parties to the agreements. Attempts to gain time.

Earlier, Daria Olifer, a spokeswoman for the Kiev representative at the talks, Leonid Kuchma, said that Ukraine was ready to fulfill the political part of the Minsk agreements only after the dissolution of the DPR and LPR, as well as the withdrawal of forces in the Donbass.

She noted that the withdrawal of “armed formations of foreign troops” from Ukraine and the provision of the work of the CEC of Ukraine are also necessary.

The Federation Council, commenting on RT the words of Olifer, called such a statement “extremely strange” and called to wait for the statements of higher officials.
