Kravchuk ruled out unilateral inspection in Donbass

If the positions are controlled in the future, then not only the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but also the separatists.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation to the trilateral contact group in the Minsk talks, Leonid Kravchuk, assured that there will be no unilateral inspections of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbas in the future. He said it in an interview with Radio Liberty published on Sunday, September 20.

He noted that there are no final agreements on this matter yet, but Ukraine will seek bilateral controls.

“… What will happen so that it is not unilateral. they say we are raping. It cannot be that they will make demands on Ukraine, and Ukraine will comply, without being able to force through the OSCE, through the monitoring mission, say, to comply with these conditions and the opposite side, ”said Kravchuk.

According to him, while the TCG is drawing up the mechanisms to carry out the investigation, which are in the Minsk agreements on comprehensive silence.

“We agreed to develop the mechanism, only after that, when we have developed the mechanism, will it begin to work, we will investigate, again with the help of the monitoring mission, which is working within the framework of our trilateral contact group, and we will continue to advance. This was an accident, it was a one-time attempt, a one-time attempt to conduct an inspection near the town of Shumy. But since the opposite side immediately violated what we agreed on the next day by videoconference, the Ukrainian armed forces and Ukraine rejected such inspection. “Kravchuk, adding that in the future everything will happen according to the developed mechanism.

Let us remind you that for more than a week in the “DPR” they threatened to shoot at positions near the town of Shumy. But after an agreement on a joint inspection, they decided to cancel the order.

The inspection was supposed to take place on September 10 with the participation of representatives from both sides in the JCCC and OSCE, but was canceled.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG Leonid Kravchuk said that the inspection near Shumy was not temporarily canceled, as the representatives of the “DPR” presented additional requirements that had not been previously agreed.
