Then you have to choose: either act within the agreed position of the Ukrainian delegation or leave the negotiation process.
Vitold Fokin’s statement will not change the position of the Trilateral Contact Group. But I think today’s criticisms from Avakov and Razumkov will be a lesson for him.
Then you have to choose: either act within the position agreed by the Ukrainian delegation, or leave the negotiation process. I will give an example: last year, the TCG member Roman Bessmertny announced his political position, a contradiction arose, after which a presidential decree on his impeachment was issued. As a result, Bessmertny abandoned both the negotiations and the TKG. Fokin can stay if he changes position and becomes more consistent with the official position of the Ukrainian team, more flexible.
Zelensky went through this phase a long time ago.
I am convinced that these words of Fokine are his private opinion, which he expressed without feeling the context of the negotiations, without being fully aware of the negotiating position. This is a manifestation of negotiating romanticism, romantic peace.
Zelensky went through this phase a long time ago. He had something similar, they say, the main thing is to show constructive will, declare it, have a constructive position, and then we will quickly solve all the problems. But it turned out not!
In his interview, Fokin spoke about engagement and said a number of, in principle, the right things. On the issue of amnesty, it is important to understand the differences between the position of Ukraine and the position of Russia. Saying, they say, yes, we are going to meet with you on the issue of amnesty, hope that perhaps then the other party will drop the demand to consolidate ORDLO’s status in the Constitution. I guess where he got the idea to provide a special status for the entire Donbass, and not just for CADLO, but the Ukrainian side doesn’t have that position.
So I think the negotiating romanticism still appears here, Fokine has not yet entered into negotiations. But if this special position is maintained, it will continue to contradict the official position of the Ukrainian side, then it will leave on its own initiative or it will be necessary to change the composition of the negotiating group and replace it with someone else.
