The deputy head of the Ukrainian delegation in the trilateral contact group, Vitold Fokin, is not responsible for the diplomatic failures suffered by his predecessors in the Minsk talks, but his statements today cannot be justified. This was stated by the head of the President’s Office, Andrei Yermak, who in August recommended that Fokine be included in the TCG.
After statements about the conflict in Donbass and the role of Russia in it, the deputy head of the Ukrainian delegation in the trilateral contact group Vitold Fokin must leave the TCG. The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak wrote about this on Facebook.
According to him, the Russian Federation is a participant in the conflict, not an observer.
“Russia must leave our land and take everything that belongs to it: the army, the armed formations, the military equipment, the occupation structures. today we are forced to solve it, “said Yermak.
Fokin is not to blame for the diplomatic failures suffered by Ukraine’s previous leadership, said the OPU chief.
“Is it Mr. Fokin who accepted the obligation to hold elections in CADLO not after, but before the return of control over the border with Russia to Ukraine? No, not Fokin. Perhaps Mr. Fokin agreed to the obligation to consult on changes in Ukrainian legislation? No, not Fokin. And who in 2014 year did not begin to defend Crimea from seizure? Mr. Fokin? No, not Fokin. Do you know the names, “- wrote Ermak.
He also emphasized that with the previous composition of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG, it was never possible to agree on a two-month silence at the front.
However, at the same time, the head of the presidential office rejects Fokin’s statements made at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada committee on the organization of state power, local government, regional development and urban planning.
“All of this does not justify Mr. Fokin’s words today. My personal position is that Mr. Fokin should leave the TCG,” Ermak summarized.
In August, 87-year-old Fokin became the first deputy head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG. It was Yermak who recommended it to the rest of the negotiators.
On September 29, during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on the organization of state power, local self-government, regional development and urban planning, Fokin said he was not sure Ukraine and Russia at war?… Also he said, what will never be the enemy Russia.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov appointed Fokin “a bastard and a plush idiot.”
The vice chairman of the Servants of the People parliamentary faction, Yevgenia Kravchuk, expressed surprise that Fokin’s personal opinion on the situation in Donbass does not coincide with the official position of the Ukrainian delegation.
