He said this in an interview with 112 Ukraine.

“What we can confidently talk about today is that we must move within the framework of the Minsk agreements. We cannot move away from this ... This is both a ceasefire and a withdrawal of weapons. Unfortunately, this is a point, but we must strive for this and extend this practice to the entire line of demarcation, ”he said.

However, he declined to answer the question regarding the approval of the special status of Donbass.

In July, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky announced his readiness to implement the Minsk Agreement. At the same time, in June, he said that he was not ready for a direct dialogue with Donetsk and Lugansk, although the Minsk agreements oblige us to begin such negotiations.

At the same time, in April, while still a candidate for the presidency of Ukraine, Zelensky spoke out against granting a special status to Donbass and amnesty for those who took part in hostilities in the east of the country, although these points are mandatory for implementation under the Minsk agreements.

Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleg Tsaryov, in an interview with the NSN, assessed the chances of the Ukrainian leader to achieve peace in the Donbass.
