Senator Dzhabarov: with his statements Zelensky is trying to drag Russia into the war in Donbass the achievements of peace in Donbass are an attempt to drag Russia into this war. The Ukrainian president needs to negotiate not with the Kremlin, but with Donetsk and Lugansk. So the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council committee on international affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov in a conversation with “Lenta.ru” assessed the statements of the Ukrainian president.
This is an irresponsible statement on his part, because Russia does not participate in any war in Donbass … Zelensky needs to talk with his people, with his people, with the authorities of the LPR and DPR, which are, by the way, citizens of Ukraine.

The Federation Council member added that the establishment of a dialogue in Kiev with the authorities of the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR is one of those important conditions of the Minsk agreements that Ukraine does not fulfill.
“Let him fulfill them. And when he says that it is necessary to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia, it means that he is trying to drag Russia into this conflict, although Russia is not a party to him, “the senator said.
Earlier, Zelensky during his of the annual message to the Verkhovna Rada, he said that he is not afraid of dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin and believes that without this it is impossible to resolve the conflict in Donbass.

The Kremlin replied that it did not agree with the attempts to expose Russia one of the parties to the conflict in Donbass.
