Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Klimkin urged Kiev to change its strategy for the sake of preserving Donbass saving it. He stated this on the air of the 1 + 1 TV channel, RIA Novosti reports.
According to the former minister, Kiev is now in a very dangerous situation. “We are one step away from starting to lose Donbass. We need to talk with our friends and say that we need a new strategy, we need to say: this “Minsk” does not work, “he said.
According to the minister, the Minsk agreements will not work, since the president Russian Vladimir Putin is “ready to go further.” “Now a real geopolitical meat grinder can start spinning. And we must understand where we are in this game. And if we do not make the right bets, then we have a real threat that they will grind us into minced meat, “he stressed.
As Klimkin said, today the threat of” provocations is not the same as in the spring, but more. ” … He stressed that Kiev needs a new strategy for Donbass.
Earlier, the Kremlin warned Ukraine against the use of force to resolve the conflict in Donbass. As the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said, such an attempt would be a step towards another catastrophe. The Kremlin spokesman noted that Ukraine is being “pumped up” by NATO weapons.
