Fokin stopped working in the settlement in Donbass
The president decided to withdraw Fokine from the Donbass negotiations after the scandal surrounding his remarks.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on Wednesday, September 30, excluding Vitold Fokin from the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG and relieved him of his duties as the first deputy head of the delegation.
“The president declared that Vitold Fokin started, first of all, from a fair assessment of the temporary occupation of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of our state. Representing the state at any level is not an opportunity for opinions and personal ambitions, it is an unconditional obligation to implement in life the position of the state and the interests of the Ukrainian people “, – said in the message of the Office of the President.
It is noted that the work of the Ukrainian delegation in the Trilateral Contact Group will continue on the basis of a clear understanding of Russia’s full control of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
“The main objective of our delegation, like the whole state, is the return exclusively on Ukrainian terms of all temporarily occupied territories, our people, as well as the establishment of a long-term peace,” the OP said.
“We emphasize that we cannot simply call the world the conditions of the temporary occupation of a part of our territory, turning a blind eye to the existence of occupation structures and the total lack of security in this territory. It is necessary to withdraw from Ukraine all illegal armed groups, their military equipment, carry out a complete unemployment and return control part of the border with Russia. Only this can be the way to real peace. We call on the members of the Ukrainian delegation of the Trilateral Contact Group to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to achieve this main goal, “Zelensky said.
Earlier, the leadership of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG, represented by its head Leonid Kravchuk, as well as his deputies Aleksey Reznikov and Alexander Merezhko, called Fokin’s statements on Donbass made in the Rada “strange”.
