Deputy Belik compared Ukraine to a dog on a leash in response to Ermak’s statement. According to the parliamentarian, all that Ukrainian politicians can do is “puff out their cheeks”, pretending that they will decide whether to negotiate or not.

Earlier, the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy ErMak, said that an agreement between Moscow and Kiev is currently impossible. The point of view was expressed by State Duma deputy from Sevastopol Dmitry Belik.
