The meeting of the leaders of the "Normandy format" without the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin aims to encourage Ukraine to fulfill the Minsk agreements, says Deputy Director of the Institute of CIS countries Vladimir Zharikhin. However, no Russian leader would harm the existing format of the settlement, said political analyst Sergei Mikheyev.
the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, head of the French Republic Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet on the first day of the week, August 24, in Berlin, to discuss the situation in the Donbass.
"There is a problem between France, Germany and Ukraine. Is the intentional failure to follow the explicit implementation of the Minsk agreements, in the most economic and the political part, " Zharikhin said Fins news .
According to Jarigina, " made a decision not in front of the Russian side still down on the Kiev government to these contracts began to implement ". The head of the Department added that the upcoming Meeting is not friendship against Russia, " but rather an educational process that is often not on people ".
with own side Mikheev said Last news that the upcoming Meeting is likely to harm the existing format of the settlement." If this information is correct and that Meeting will take place, this will undoubtedly cause harm to the Minsk format, because the Western countries and Ukraine declare that the Russian Federation involved in the conflict, that without Russia it is impossible to be solved ", - said political analyst Sergei Mikheyev.
in his vision, the Chancellor and the presidents of France and Ukraine are unlikely to reach agreement on substantive issues." I don't think there (in Berlin) will turn out to come to a common opinion about something that would make sense, " - said the expert.
He also noticed that it is not necessary to forget about the existence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics, without which to resolve the crisis in Ukraine is impossible." apart from Russia, there are Donetsk and Lugansk, without which also solve the problem meaningless. For this reason, I don't think, because it will be positive in the long format, " drew attention Mikheev.
