«Yes, we have a war in which Russia is part of the conflict, not an observer. And that is precisely the reason why, and also because of the annexation of Crimea, the West applied sanctions against Russia … My personal position is that Mr. Fokin should leave the TCG, “Ermak wrote on his Facebook.
Yermak emphasized that Ukraine demands a complete unemployment and the return of its territories; this will mean the return of true peace.
«Russia must leave our land and take all its own: the army, the armed formations, the military equipment, the occupation structures. And it would also be good if Russia also removed its diplomatic traps, which Ukraine’s representatives fell into in previous years, and which we have to deal with today. “
The head of the OP recalled that the TCG does not make decisions, but is «a logistics platform “to agree on details and agreements reached by the leaders of the Normandy format countries.
«Was it Mr. Fokin who made the commitments to hold elections in CADLO not after, but before the return of control of the border with Russia to Ukraine? No, not Fokine. Perhaps Mr. Fokin agreed with the obligation to consult on changes in Ukrainian legislation? No, not Fokine. And who in 2014 did not defend Crimea from capture? Mr. Fokine? No, not Fokin, ”Yermak added, saying that this does not justify his statements today.
Vitold Fokin, 87, joined the Ukrainian delegation to the Donbas TCG on August 18. In less than two weeks in an interview, he said that the implementation of the Minsk accords, in particular the granting of special status to Donbass, is the only way to achieve peace. He also advocated for a general amnesty and special status for the entire Donbass.
Additionally, Fokin named the Kremlin-controlled militants «rebels “and proposed to form «interim international government “for holding local elections in the occupied Donbass, but later apologized for his words.
After high-profile statements, he was summoned to the parliamentary commission on the organization of state power and local self-government. At a committee meeting on September 29, Fokin, in particular, stated that he did not believe Ukraine was at war with the Russian Federation in Donbas.
The profile committee of the parliament supported the initiative of the Voice to resign Vitold Fokin.
