Kravchuk explained what the worsening in Donbass is connected to

Kravchuk refused to call the situation in Donbass “an escalation of the conflict” but admitted that it is still getting worse.

Activation of militants in Donbass is associated with sanctions against Viktor Medvedchuk and his television channels. This was announced on Saturday February 27th by the head of the Ukrainian delegation to TCG Leonid Kravchuk in an interview with DW.

He refused to call the situation in Donbass “an escalation of the conflict”, but admitted that it is still getting worse. The politician linked this to the sanctions against Medvedchuk.

“I think this is precisely due to the fact that Ukraine began to act actively, that Zelensky imposed sanctions on pro-Russian channels for their propaganda, imposed sanctions against Medvedchuk, that is, they felt that Ukraine had gone from words to deeds. Also, how Europe valued the actions of Russia, the situation with Nord Stream-2, the speeches of Biden and his team. They realized that the situation was not in their favor and they began to show that they too have the power and can do. something, “Kravchuk said.

At the same time, according to Kravchuk, the aggravation in Donbass cannot be seen as a direct revenge of the Russian Federation for the sanctions against Medvedchuk.

“I don’t think so. This is not revenge. Because they have never stopped implementing the idea that Ukraine should be” under Russia “, ever. This thesis has not been canceled. Therefore, in order to finally break with Russia, We need to convert really in an EU member, a real NATO member, really get the status of a special partner of the United States. And we do not ask for it. We know that Russia’s appetites do not end in Ukraine, “said the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG.

Let us remember that the command of the Joint Forces operation associates the aggravation of the situation in Donbass with the rotation of the enemy.

Earlier, Kravchuk said that the Russian side is trying to artificially block the negotiation process on Donbass in the Trilateral Contact Group. At the same time, representatives of the separatists try to act during the meetings as full participants.
