In DND explained the emergence of the question of the legitimacy of Kuchma
Representatives of Donetsk and Lugansk national republics need to see the document on the powers of the former President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma As a negotiator in the contact group, said the Director of the National Council DND Andrey Purgin. "It's not Kuchma, We can't choose who will represent Ukraine in the negotiations. We had a need to see a Document that confirms the legality of Kuchma as the official envoy of Kiev. We took Kuchma As the messenger of Kiev by default. The question of its legitimacy from our side arose only when the Ukrainian side said that the negotiations should be a leader of the breakaway republics, "said Burgin, RIA" Novosti ". However, reviews of commissioners of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, the failure of Donetsk and Lugansk national republics to recognize Ukraine's former President Leonid Kuchma in the form of the messenger of Kiev on the negotiations of the contact group in Minsk indicates inability to dialogue. On the first day of the week on the Internet office of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko appeared the text of the Ordinance, According to which the former head of the Ukrainian country Leonid Kuchma authorized to represent Kiev in the contact group on the settlement of the situation in Ukraine. The document was dated July 8, 2014. On the same day the leader of the DND Alexander Zakharchenko said that the Plenipotentiaries of the Republic will not go in Minsk, while Kiev has formally approved negotiator. On its part, the Plenipotentiary LNR negotiations Vladislav Danego said that the order of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko does not provide Leonid Kuchma authority to approve regulatory documents on behalf of Ukraine in the negotiations of the contact group. Remember, in Minsk on the first day of the weekend took place the meeting of the contact group in Ukraine, it arrived envoys Donetsk and Lugansk national republics Denis pusillin and Vladislav Deinega, negotiator from Kiev, ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, as well as the OSCE representative, Heidi Tagliavini, and Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov. As said authorized DND Denis Putilin, Kuchma could not assure their range of capabilities. In the end, the contact group did not sign the final Document. Kuchma was subjected to the alleged failure of the negotiations of the leaders of the DND and LNR who decided not to come to Kyiv. The leader of the Luhansk national Republic Igor Carpentry rejected accusations Kuchma, Recalling that the former President of Ukraine should " official designation of his / her authorized representative.
