“It’s impossible all the time to demand from Russia the fulfillment of, say, the same Minsk agreements in that part that doesn’t depend on us at all. The Minsk agreements require, for example, a full restoration of the economic relations of Donbass and Ukraine. First of all, it is necessary to cancel the decree of the former president (Ukraine Peter. - RT ) Poroshenko about this blockade. It directly contradicts the Minsk agreements, ”the leader said.
He also asked why the European partners are not interested in the Ukrainian colleagues in the situation in this direction.
“We can't do it for them. Well, let me issue this decree, what will it be then? Well, what will it be? ”Putin said.
In addition, he recalled that the law on amnesty adopted earlier in Ukraine had not yet been signed by the head of state.
"Let's calmly see what someone has to do and we will not shift all responsibility to one of the parties," the president concluded.
July 4, Putin arrived with an official visit to Italy. He also visited the Vatican, where he met with Pope Francis.
