“An extremely strange statement. They are ready to implement the Minsk agreements, but at the same time they personally enter the clause on the dissolution of the DPR and DPR. This is a gross violation. Such statements indicate that Kiev does not want to comply with the Minsk agreements and follow the Steinmeier formula, to which it agreed just a week ago. Everything suggests that the power in Ukraine is unstable and inconsistent, ”he said.

According to the senator, with this approach, "the situation in the DPR and LPR will not be resolved."

Tsekov urged to wait for statements by higher officials.

“Kuchma’s spokeswoman is, of course, good. However, we must wait for what the official leaders of Kiev will say, ”he concluded.

Earlier, a spokeswoman for Kuchma said that Kiev was ready to fulfill the political part of the Minsk agreements only after the dissolution of the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, as well as the withdrawal of forces in the Donbass.

She noted that the withdrawal of “armed formations of foreign troops and military equipment” from Ukraine was also necessary.
