“I think that the Ukrainian minister mixed up the blessings of the state and someone’s political ambitions. Russia is not a party to the conflict and demanding any compensation from it is at least unreasonable, ”the parliamentarian said.

According to Balbek, as the experience of the meeting of the Norman four shows, the escalation of the conflict, in the first place, depends on official Kiev.

He also added that the prospect of receiving compensation is zero.

Earlier, Krikli stated that Russia, after the end of the conflict in the Donbass, should pay reparations to Ukraine.

At the same time, he considers it unacceptable to levy funds from Ukrainians for the restoration of uncontrolled territories. According to him, this is "a priori impossible."
