Alexey Bukchin, Nina Gurin. The next Meeting of the contact group on the settlement of the situation in Ukraine ended the first day of the weekend in Minsk without significant results.
The parties to an armed confrontation in the Donbass could Not reach concrete agreements And as a result little progress in achieving the main goal - to stop the fire.
The intrigue in Minsk meetings traditionally begins with threshold - with the question of the arrival of the delegations. In the Belarusian capital of the militia, as a rule, there are authorized Authorized self-proclaimed Donetsk And Lugansk national republics Denis pusillin And Vladislav Danego. They arrived in Minsk on the last working day of the week. It was on this date was initially announced dialogues.
anyway, Putilin, Danego were the only members of the contact group, who was in the Belarusian capital on this day. In correspondence verbal exchanges Kiev collected that arrived in Minsk head of DND AND LNR Alexander Zakharchenko And Igor Carpentry. For his part, Putilin, Danego stated that the leader of the breakaway republics will arrive on dialogues only in case of Ukraine the meeting will be participating authorized, officially authorized. The current status of ex-President Leonid Kuchma they are Not satisfied.
in the end, Not waiting for his opponents, Putilin, Danego left Minsk, giving a pre-briefing for reporters at the airport.
Meeting of the contact group was held in Minsk day later - on the first day of the weekend. It arrived above Authorized DND AND LNR Putilin, Deinega, Kuchma, Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov, as Well as the Commissioner of the OSCE Chairperson Heidi Tagliavini.
reporters at the event were Not admitted, And they had a couple of hours to wait in the pouring rain at the fence of the Minsk complex Diservis Hall - the former office of the President of Belarus. However, the wait proved fruitless. At the end of the meeting to the media, No one came. Negotiators set in the cars And left. Later at the airport with the press talked only Putilin, Deinega, after a traditional briefing.
Negotiators have Not yet left the " Diservis Hall, and it was already announced that the desired outcomes of the Meeting did Not bring. For example, the parties have Not signed any documents." Can't say that today's Meeting ended constructively: got to share only our positions, " he told reporters after Putilin.
authorized DND noted that the position of the militia remains unchanged And is based on the current situation." The actual line (contact), to which We now must insist, quite objective ", - noted He.
"The conflict that erupted through the fault of the Ukrainian side And led to mass death of people, destruction of infrastructure, settlements, forced us to go for a forced counter-attack, And the line changed the mark," he added Putilin.
anyway, according to him, DND AND LNR ready to continue the dialogue on the settlement of the situation in the South-East of Ukraine in the mode of dialogue, Not monologue of Kiev." We are ready to talk, ready to act in the framework of the Minsk agreements. But must be a dialogue, Not a monologue of Kyiv, " He told reporters.
Authorized DND AND LNR Also accused Kiev side in the negotiations. One of the main complaints is the lack of formal official envoy of Ukraine. According to Putilina, ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma at the talks in Minsk are Not able to assure their range of capabilities in the form of an official messenger from Kiev.
" Leonid Danilovich currently (at the talks) showed us a document that is Not clear when He posted. No range of possibilities Not written, " said Putilin. According to him, Kuchma is Not Ukrainian civil servants, And all these factors are " removed from his liability in case of failure of the arrangements.
in response to the demands of the Ukrainian side about the presence at the talks in Minsk chapters of the self-proclaimed Donetsk And Lugansk national republics, Putilin said that they would come only after the initialing of the final document by all parties, And after the cessation of shelling settlements of Donbass from the Ukrainian security services.
"the head of our republics will come (in Minsk), as will be initialed the final document by all parties, and that at the present time is the most important, will be terminated when the fire of our cities and towns, with heavy artillery will be the removal of heavy equipment," said Putilin. He expressed the opinion that this requires " the order from the first faces of Ukraine ".
The question about a possible date for a new round of Minsk negotiations And the signing of the Treaty on the settlement of the situation in the Donbass, remains open. Plenipotentiary Representative LNR Danego told the journalist that the Question of the approval date of the signing of the document was Not considered ".
He also said that Members of the contact group took time out to consult on the terms of the ceasefire.
in addition, as explained, Deinega, and other issues during the meeting was Not discussed because of differences in the positions of the parties ".
"Deferred pending resolution of the main issue - the ceasefire, which requires the order Poroshenko, because there is no faith in the reality of the ceasefire without such order, officially published And promulgated," He said.
