“What kind of conspiracy can we talk about if Russia, France and Germany want peace, and its conditions were enshrined in the relevant agreements and signed, including by the Ukrainian side?” Said the deputy.
He stressed that achieving peace in Ukraine is a priority for the meetings of the “Norman Four”, and that is why other participating countries can deny statements that contradict the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
“If Ukraine insists on some personal ambitious but unacceptable conditions for the other side of the conflict, then all reconciliation efforts are wasted,” Balbek believes.
Earlier, Kuchma did not rule out that French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the summit of the "Norman Four" would push Zelensky to "unacceptable" concessions to Russia.
