“Honestly, the reason why Ukraine should leave the Norman format is absolutely incomprehensible. In the event of an exit, the situation will become unpredictable, anything can happen. Republics still believe in this format. After the release, the issue will be resolved more radically, ”he said.

According to Dzhabarov, "it is not very clear who is stopping Kiev from acting within the framework of the Norman format."

“It is Ukraine that does not fulfill its part of the format agreements. Zelensky complains of himself, ”concluded the senator.

Zelensky said earlier that Kiev would withdraw from the Norman format of negotiations on the Donbass in a year, if during this time the situation did not change.

The President emphasized that he could not devote five years that the Ukrainian people had given him to work on the Minsk agreements.
