“Zelensky’s statements are another demonstration of the Kyiv regime’s focus on continuing the conflict.
He hypocritically rejects the prospect of new Minsk agreements, but at the same time he set out to talk about peace on his own terms, ”Belik said.
The parliamentarian recalled that it was Kyiv that violated its obligations under Minsk-1 and Minsk-2.
“But shifting from a sore head to a healthy one is one of the favorite tactics of the Kyiv regime: it’s convenient for Zelensky to blame Russia for not fulfilling the Minsk agreements and, under this pretext, to reject the possibility of Minsk-3,” the RT interlocutor added.
At the same time, the deputy stressed that Kyiv's blatant sabotage of the Minsk agreements was one of the reasons that Russia recognized the independence of the DPR and LPR and stood up for its compatriots in the Donbass.
Earlier, Zelensky said that Ukraine would not conclude Minsk-3 with Russia.
According to Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the words of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky that there will be no Minsk-3 confirm Kyiv's unwillingness to negotiate.
