"There is no need.

Peacekeepers will not solve anything in the intra-Ukrainian conflict, ”RIA Novosti quotes Ilyichev’s answer to the question of the need to bring UN peacekeepers to the Russian-Ukrainian border.

He stressed that "Ukrainians need to talk with the LPR and DPR (the self-proclaimed Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics. -

)". 

According to the diplomat, the issue of UN peacekeepers in Donbass is finally closed and is not discussed.

Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that official Kiev at meetings of all levels excludes the possibility of conducting a direct dialogue with the LPR and DPR, despite the fact that this is provided for by the Minsk agreements.

According to him, Kiev also excludes the possibility of granting Donbass a special status or veto power.
