“Today the political reputation of Ukraine in the negotiation process is close to zero.
This is reflected in the work of the contact group and in other negotiation formats, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
As noted by Gryzlov, recently the leaders of Russia, Germany and France discussed the issue of resolving the internal Ukrainian conflict and came to certain common positions.
"The participants in the discussion came to a common understanding that, in the logic of a peaceful settlement of the conflict, Kiev, Donetsk and Lugansk first need to agree on the conditions for the peaceful coexistence of Donbass and Ukraine after the settlement, which will make it possible to quickly and effectively agree on the termination of mutual unfriendly actions against each other," he said. ...
At the same time, the plenipotentiary added that, contrary to the Minsk agreements, the dialogue on the future status of Donbass has not been started since March 9, 2015.
“Ukraine keeps its position on this issue in deep secrecy.
Without the fulfillment of the political obligations that the Kiev authorities assumed under the Minsk agreements, due to the mutual distrust of Ukraine and Donbass, a deadlock situation in the negotiations will continue to arise, ”he concluded.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Russia was warning the Ukrainian authorities against attempts to further escalate and implement a force scenario in the Donbass.
