“I believe that the war will end quickly now. There are the first symptoms that allow me to think so, ”UNIAN quoted Kravchuk at a press conference in Kiev.

According to him, the first signal of the imminent end of the conflict was the discussion at Fort Bregancon on August 19 by the leaders of Russia and France, Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron, of the resumption of the Norman format.

“Firstly, the day before yesterday they said that there would be no Norman format soon, and at the meeting between Macron and Putin they decided what would happen in the near future. It is not just that. This is the first signal, ”said the Ukrainian ex-president.

He also said that ambassadors and foreign delegates also began to notice positive changes in the peace process in the Donbass.

“In particular, the ambassador of America said that he is experiencing certain impulses to take steps towards peace in the Donbass,” Kravchuk specified.

He emphasized that all political forces and the authorities of Ukraine should unite in order to achieve peace in the country.

“I think that if everyone acted, walked the same road to the world, all of Ukraine, all political forces together with the government, then probably it would be faster,” the first Ukrainian leader concluded.

Earlier, Macron and Putin noted the need to restore the Norman format to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

In May, Kravchuk in an interview with the FAN appreciated the idea of ​​holding a referendum in Ukraine on further relations with Moscow.
