“A rather thorough discussion took place ... finally, it was possible to come close to the idea that a set of additional measures should be taken to stop the shootout,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to Kozak, the results of this meeting will make it possible to take concrete measures to comply with the ceasefire in the Donbass at the next meeting of the tripartite contact group.
It is assumed that the final document following the meeting will be adopted later in the course of telephone conversations, “since it was not possible to agree on it in detail”.
Kozak also said that it was premature to talk about agreeing a Norman summit.
“There was no talk of a meeting at the ministerial level. There were attempts to determine specific dates of the “Norman format”, but it’s very, very early to talk about it, because it is necessary to fully implement ... primarily from Ukraine, the decisions that were adopted at the December 9 summit, ”he said. he.
The deputy head of the presidential administration of Russia also noted that there was no talk of a “breakthrough” in the negotiations on the Donbass.
“Today, it was not possible to get a clear, distinct answer from Ukraine when this document was prepared, amendments to the Constitution regarding decentralization ... no one has seen this decentralization yet - neither Ukrainian citizens, nor residents of Donbass. And what we are talking about, we don’t understand, nobody understands, ”Kozak concluded.
