The Russian side should not have any relation to peacekeeping mission in the Donbass. From such a perspective “tear the roof”, said the Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin, reports “Interfax-Ukraine”.
“We believe that in any case, since Russia as country-aggressor, if it is still present in the peacekeeping mission, then it’s just “crazy”. Seriously, how is Russia, which actually occupied the territory of Donbass and it is just a mixture of classical and hybrid occupation may be in this mission?” — said Klimkin, adding that taking part in it needs only those who trust Kiev and “can trust the international community.”
To talk at length about the mission he refused, considering it premature. “The mission will discuss later, there are certain thoughts, but if I’m going to announce, it would not be very ethical towards our partners,” — said the head of the foreign Ministry of Ukraine.
Earlier in DND stated that I consider it inappropriate without the consent of the DNR and LNR to place UN peacekeeping forces throughout the region. About it the Plenipotentiary of the self-proclaimed Donetsk people’s Republic Denis Pushilin said commenting on the statement by German Chancellor Angela Merkel called “interesting” the idea of deploying a UN peacekeeping mission in the Donbass, but on the condition that the peacekeepers will be present throughout the region.
