The resolution on holding local elections, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on July 15, 2020, which limited the holding of elections in Donbas, should be canceled, Medvedchuk said.
The chairman of the political council of the Oposition Platform – For Life party, Viktor Medvedchuk, criticized the resolution adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on July 15, 2020 on holding local elections, which limited the holding of elections in Donbas.
“This is an error of the authorities. If today Donetsk and Lugansk are uncontrollable, then it was necessary to hold elections for the regional councils of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions.” controlled units. And they, of course, do not need municipalities to put a brake on the wheels of their illegal activities, mainly criminal, “he said.
“And the main thing that was the subject of repeated considerations in the TCG during the Minsk talks and at the meeting in Berlin of the advisers to the heads of state of the” Normandy format “is point 4, which became a stumbling block, he stressed. deputy. A stumbling block, because it describes the conditions under which elections can take place in the Donbass. We are talking about elections in the Donbass, in the territory not controlled by Ukraine. For some reason, when many characterize this issue, they start from the fact that, they say, elections are not now can be held there for many reasons. And this is natural. The obstacle in the form of the fourth clause of the Verkhovna Rada resolution of July 15, 2020 will be at the forefront of any negotiations today, “Medvedchuk added.
He also believes that the resolution adopted by the Verkhovna Rada will have an impact on today’s contact group negotiations on Donbass.
“Today, the TCG will continue the negotiations on the Minsk Accords. On all issues to move forward (exchange, withdrawal of forces, withdrawal of arms, demining and much more), they will start with the question of repealing paragraph 4 of the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dated July 15, 2020. Because this article crossed out the Minsk accords. And there is no point in holding negotiations in the Minsk format, if there is such a point, “Medvedchuk said.
“Until said clause is canceled, it is not possible to speak of a greater implementation of the Minsk agreements and those agreements that are necessary for Ukraine. In this case, Ukraine is completely guilty of interrupting the negotiation process,” said the head of the political council of the PLWH.
