“The fact that many MEPs understand the need for negotiations between Kiev and Moscow is very important. Without this, it will be impossible to decide on the Minsk agreements, from which the previous leadership of Ukraine has always left. Vladimir Zelensky himself is well aware that it is necessary to do something. We see the appropriate, albeit very timid, signals from his side. I hope that this position of European parliamentarians will largely untie the hands of the Ukrainian president. Russia, in turn, was always ready for negotiations, ”Chepa said.
The deputy also noted that it is too early to draw conclusions about whether the Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and his supporters will heed the calls from the European Parliament.
“The administration has not yet fully settled, the elections to the Verkhovna Rada are near, which today is clearly opposing the new president. So far, it is difficult to unequivocally give some estimates, ”he concluded.
Earlier, the European Parliament called on Ukraine to seek negotiations with Russia.
Also, Andrei Bogdan, head of the administration of the Ukrainian president, spoke out for talks with Moscow.
