It is reported by the Donetsk news agency.

“Judging by the statements of the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, the chaos and confusion in the heads of Ukrainian officials grows stronger every day. Otherwise, it’s hard for us to explain how they can consider breeding along the entire line of contact “an erroneous way that contradicts the very essence of the Minsk agreements,” she said.

As the Minister noted, it is the phased withdrawal of troops along the contact line that is the most effective way to ensure a sustainable ceasefire in the region.

"The head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has reached such a degree of cynicism that, despite the dire consequences of the shelling for the residents of Donbass ... I’m ready to continue the conflict only in order to" not remove the tension of the international community "and not to" lobby for the lifting of sanctions ", - concluded she.

Zagorodniuk said earlier that Kiev refuses to support the withdrawal of forces and assets along the entire contact line in the Donbass because of fears of freezing the conflict. According to him, “such a path is erroneous” and “contradicts the very essence of the Minsk agreements”.
