The Kiev regime is openly working to abandon the Minsk agreements. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a speech to the parliament this morning, claimed that the only way to solve the conflict in the Donbas is by direct talks ... with Russian President Valdimir Putin. “We must tell the truth that we will not be able to stop the war without direct negotiations with Russia, and today this has already been recognised by all, all external partners,” Zelensky said. “I am not afraid of a direct conversation with them, we are not afraid of a direct dialogue; we know which of the European countries support Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky’s statement runs counter to the Minsk agreements for resolving the conflict in the Donbas region which, among other things, call for a direct dialogue between Kiev and the leadership of the two breakaway republics, Donetsk and Luhansk. “We were very sad about the fact that our French and German colleagues with this event and in the eve of this Normandy meeting absolutely showed themselves as a biased party in these deliberations because for those who read the Minsk agreements, for those who are familiar with the situation, it’s absolutely clear that the core of the Minsk agreement is the direct dialogue between Ukraine and the authorities of Donetsk and Luhansk,” Russian First Deputy Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy told reporters in New York yesterday. “Unfortunately we see our Western partners and in particular France and Germany follow more and more this devastating path which can lead us to some very dangerous developments.” (https://russiaun.ru/en/news/pressconf_301121)
