As Mogherini stressed, “the EU is ready to support the implementation of the Minsk agreements by all available means.”

“This may include EU assistance in supporting the stated goal of President Zelensky on an inclusive approach to Ukrainian citizens living in uncontrolled territories of Eastern Ukraine,” the European Foreign Service press service said.

Earlier, Zelensky turned to Russia because of the “aggravation of the conflict” in the Donbas. He also declared Kiev’s readiness to negotiate with Moscow and fulfill the Minsk agreements.

Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Oleg Tsaryov, in an interview with NSN, estimated the chances of Zelensky to achieve peace in the Donbas.
