The visit of U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry in Sochi showed that the West is ready to continue the dialogue with Russia on the situation in Ukraine, said the head of the state Duma on CIS Affairs Leonid Slutsky.
"Yesterday's Visit of U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry in Sochi showed the West is ready And willing to continue the dialogue with Russia on the issue of Ukraine," Slutsky wrote on his page century
He said that for the first two years, Kerry's visit was preceded by statements by European politicians.
"First Czech leader Milos Zeman said, in his vision, the penalties are able to be withdrawn before the end of the current year, and the conflict in Ukraine must be resolved only through diplomatic means. Then the Spanish foreign Affairs Minister garc?a-margallo said the Russian Federation should be represented as a strategic ally, not the enemy. Not to mention the visit of Frau (Angels) Merkel, in which she stressed that Minsk consensus must be strictly complied with, " said the people's Deputy.
according to his vision, against this background, Kiev " behaves not very clever ".
"(The Ukrainian President) Petro Poroshenko said that he was going to retake the Donetsk airport, although the Minsk agreements It departs DNR. The phrase evokes predictable criticism from the Kremlin, but also the political establishment of the West it is utterly shocking. Even Kerry said that the attempt to recapture the airport would be a destructive step, And made the initiative Poroshenko should think about their actions. I have the feeling that in Kiev suffer from a lack of international attention And try to bring him back, " says Slutsky.
However, He emphasized that " Authorized DND AND LNR have that side of the conflict, which according to tradition in the West are least inclined to compromise, made statements, directly opposite poroshenkos of the vector ".
"They said it was ready to autonomy from Ukraine. Of course, only in case of implementation of the Minsk agreements - otherwise there will be further struggle for independence, " He continued.
Slutsky believes that the need for the implementation of the agreements reached in Minsk, obvious to all, except Kyiv.
"It seems that the Ukrainian authorities are hopeful that with time about the contract will be forgotten And it will be possible with impunity to conduct operations. However, it is not. Kiev will have to moderate or ardor in favor of a peaceful settlement, or being ostracized from world brotherhood. And choose, the system should be very soon, " He finished.
