Leonid Kravchuk’s decisive protest over the death of Ukrainian soldier Vyacheslav Minkin caused real hysteria among Russians in the Trilateral Contact Group. However, Russia instantly settled in and was reminded that the West was unanimously on Ukraine’s side.
One gets the impression that the Russians want to “completely eliminate” the Minsk accords and the Normandy format as a genre, so that it does not exist. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian delegation, Oleksiy Arestovich, in a comment to “Apostrophe”, stressing that this is his personal point of view.
By the way, Russia in the TCG really recognized itself as part of the conflict in Donbas, – Arestovich
I don’t remember a fight like that at all, not because of that story for 6 years, not for those 6-7 years that I participated in. This is if we take subgroups and general meetings,
– Alexey Arestovich said.
He explained that it all started when the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Leonid Kravchuk, made a strong protest at the murder of the Ukrainian soldier Vyacheslav Minkin in Donbas. Then the Russians accused Ukraine of “trying to get out of the Minsk accords.”
“Everything immediately jumps to a high pitch. It was planned as it was, apparently. It starts something like this:” Ukraine, confirm in writing that you withdraw from the Minsk agreements, declare right now. Are you ready for the climb, are you ready for all the consequences? “- quoted the Ukrainian’s spokesman to the Russian delegation.
According to him, the Ukrainian delegation, in return, reminded the Russians that the Minsk agreements are not just a document dated February 12, 2015, but a complete set of documents, in which Western partners also participate.
Who will be guilty of its non-compliance or partial compliance. We know who, because France and Germany are for us, the US is unofficially for us, Britain unofficially for us. And no matter how you turn out to be against us 5-6,
– Alexey Arestovich said.
What is known about the Minkin murder:
- A Ukrainian soldier from the 72nd brigade was killed by an enemy sniper near Avdiivka. This happened during the so-called “truce”, under the agreement in which Russia was also signed.
- The armistice agreed in the course of the Minsk talks should have started on July 27. Vyacheslav Minkin has already become the JFO’s 10th combat execution during the truce.
