The deputy recalled that Russia is not a party to the conflict in Donbass.
“No matter how much Ukrainian and Western mouthpieces shouted, no Russian military presence in the territory of Donbass could be proved or presented.
Russia did not enter the Donbass, which means that it is at least ridiculous to offer it to leave, ”Balbek said.
At the same time, according to him, Russia has already adapted to the sanctions regime, therefore this proposal of the Ukrainian side shows its lack of understanding of the situation.
“The promise to lift the sanctions speaks of a complete misunderstanding by the Ukrainian establishment of the current situation in Russia: we can no longer imagine our life without Western sanctions.
It doesn't matter if the conflict in Donbass ends, Ukraine recognizes the Russian status of Crimea - the sanctions will remain, because the Western world must mature at the mental level, ”the parliamentarian said.
Earlier, Oleksiy Arestovich, the adviser on information policy of the Ukrainian delegation in the trilateral contact group, spoke about "a set of agreements and proposals" which, according to the politician, "provide a golden bridge for Russia to leave."
