"Today we have Minsk agreements. And we definitely give them due, because we all believe that the conflict could be more rigid and all-embracing, "- quotes Tymoshenko Interfax-Ukraine.
At the same time, she said, it is necessary to return to other strategies, including the Budapest format.
"I think that after restarting the power in Ukraine, we will have all the opportunities without destroying the achievements on the basis of the Minsk agreements, open a new window of opportunity and talk new strategies. One of them is the fulfillment of the guarantees that are given to Ukraine, and a return to the Budapest Memorandum, "the former prime minister said.
In February, Tymoshenko described the development of a plan to resolve the conflict in the southeast of Ukraine.
The Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994 guarantees compliance with the provisions of the Final Act of the CSCE, the Charter of the United Nations and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons with respect to Ukraine as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the agreement.
