Alexey Reznikov believes that it will be beneficial for Russia to transfer control of the border to Ukraine
If Russia is really determined to end the conflict with Ukraine, it will have to make concessions, Aleksey Reznikov said.
The Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for the Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories, Alexei Reznikov, believes that a fifth subgroup should be created in the Trilateral Contact Group to resolve the situation in Donbas, which would deal with the preparation of the return of control over the border with Russia. He said it in an interview for Radio Liberty.
According to Reznikov, at the conclusion of the Minsk Accords in February 2015, Ukraine mistakenly agreed to a single clause that states that the restoration of full control over the border must begin on the first day after local elections.
“And this mistake today does not give us the opportunity to act productively in solving this problem. Therefore, if Russia is really determined to end this hybrid war and end the conflict with neighboring Ukraine, it must understand. that he will have to make concessions and give the opportunity to control the border. ” , even, in their direct interest, “- said Reznikov.
According to him, if the Russian side does not directly trust the Ukrainian border service, Kiev is ready to seek a compromise option when there is an intermediary in the role of international representation.
“For example, an additional OSCE mission with an expanded and expanded mandate,” said the deputy prime minister.
On the eve, President Volodymyr Zelensky promised control on the Donbass border. According to him, this is a necessary precondition for the deployment of the next positive political process in Donetsk and Lugansk.
