Political scientist Chuprygin called the change in Kiev as a condition of the meeting in the “Normandy format” 
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the fulfillment by Kiev of its obligations. If Moscow is waiting for Kiev to fulfill all the conditions of the Minsk Agreements on Donbass, it will most likely wait for a change of power in Ukraine. Andrey Chuprygin, senior lecturer at the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at the Higher School of Economics, told Lente.ru about this.
Earlier, Lavrov named the key condition for a new meeting in the “Normandy format”. The Russian Foreign Minister said that such negotiations will be possible only after Kiev fulfills its obligations under the Minsk agreements.

“With such a position, Moscow will only wait for something to change in Kiev. And the political elite in Kiev is not ready to go for federalization, “the political scientist predicted.
He believes that Kiev is not ready to fulfill the Minsk agreements, since, in the opinion of the Ukrainian authorities, the fulfillment of their conditions will lead to a real loss Donbass. And this, in turn, will lead to a change in the current political elite. Ukraine signed the Minsk agreements in the hope of receiving extensive assistance from the West, but did not wait for it, Chuprygin said.
However, Lavrov's statements will not lead to the termination of the existence of the Normandy Four. According to Chuprygin, the existence of the format suits everyone, and its existence will nevertheless justify itself.
“They will eventually come to the format, it would be good if they did it yesterday,” the expert concluded.
