“It is not for the state leader to ignore the international agreement signed by Ukraine - the Minsk agreements,” Balbek stressed.

The deputy also added that it was thanks to these agreements that it was possible to stop large-scale actions in the Donbass.

According to the parliamentarian, Zelensky is "dictated by instructions" to ensure that no stability in the region occurs.

"It is bad to be a pawn in someone else's game, especially for the president, who is actually deprived of the right to his opinion," the RT interlocutor concluded.

Earlier, Zelensky said about the need to reform or abolish the Minsk format.

The Ukrainian president also called for the expansion of the Normandy group, saying that the reset depends not only on the United States, but also on the UK and Canada.
