According to him, the first priority is to prevent the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions.
“There is aggression, there is a violation by one country of the basic legal order of the entire continent, so sanctions were imposed. If you decide to remove it unreasonably, then some compensators are needed. But the first task is to prevent the lifting of sanctions, ”Ukrinform quotes Kulebu.
As the politician noted, the task of diplomacy is to get the maximum benefit in exchange for breaking a promise.
“We generally live in an era of broken promises - broken promises. Now promises are being broken one after another at all levels. We must understand that at any time, any promise may be broken. But this is the task of diplomacy and politics in order to prevent this or to get the maximum benefit in exchange for breaking a promise, ”he explained.
Earlier, the Bundestag expressed the hope that in 2020 there will be progress on the issue of lifting sanctions against Russia.
As European Parliament deputy Viola von Cramon-Taubadel noted, the EU will extend anti-Russian sanctions, as “Russia has not done anything” and there is no reason to cancel them.
