Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry KulebaKYIV, Feb. 8 Ukraine has fulfilled all the obligations it has taken Dmitry Kuleba, head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, declared himself at the talks on resolving the situation in Donbass, held in Paris in 2019, commenting on Kiev’s own words about Kiev’s unwillingness to comply with the Minsk agreements on Russian terms. Earlier, Kuleba said that Kiev “explains to every guest” how Ukraine sees the implementation of the Minsk agreements, «because there is a Russian vision.» In his opinion, «the Minsk agreements cannot be implemented on Russian terms, which are based on a direct dialogue between Ukraine and ORDLO (certain regions of Donetsk and Luhansk regions — ed.)». «Recently, I made a statement that Ukraine will not comply with the Minsk agreements on Russian terms, after which the Russian Federation concluded that Ukraine refuses to implement the Minsk agreements as such… I don’t know a single EU country that would claim that Ukraine does not comply with the Minsk agreements. 2019, we did everything,» Kuleba said on the air of the ICTV channel. The so-called «Normandy format» of negotiations on Ukraine has existed since June 2014. Then, during the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Allied landing in Normandy, the leaders of Germany, Russia, Ukraine and France discussed the settlement of the conflict in Donbass for the first time. The previous summit was held in Paris on December 9, 2019. Recently, the parties at different levels have been discussing the prospects for cooperation in this format.
