According to him, President Zelensky and his Servant of the People party are not interested in the reintegration of Donbass «from a political point of view vision.» «Why does he need a million, and maybe even more, disloyal voters in the next presidential election who will clearly vote against him,» he pointed out. Skarshevsky recalled that such tactics were used by the Ukrainian authorities in the local elections in 2020 They were canceled in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, as a result of which about half a million local residents were unable to vote. The situation on the line of contact in the Donbass is of serious concern to Russia — for several months Moscow has been recording Kiev's pulling heavy weapons and forces there. Moscow does not rule out that the Ukrainian authorities are hatching plans for a forceful solution to the conflict in the southeast with the connivance of Western countries, which continue to «pump» Kiev with weapons and send military instructors. In addition, Kiev blocks work in the Contact Group, refuses direct dialogue with the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and develops draft laws that directly contradict the Minsk agreements — for example, a draft law on the transition period. Western politicians, including US President Joe Biden, have repeatedly expressed support for the Minsk agreements. Biden, following talks with the Russian President in Geneva in June 2021, said that he had agreed to support the Minsk agreements at a meeting with Putin. agreements remain the basis for settlement in Ukraine
