The plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation in the Trilateral Contact Group Boris Gryzlov said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are bringing new forces to the contact line in Donbass. He added that the Ukrainian army is trying to return fire, so that there is a pretext for a military adventure.
According to RIA Novosti, Gryzlov told reporters about this after the TCG meeting on March 17.
“The armed forces of Ukraine are attracting new forces and means to the line of contact, in violation of all previous obligations regarding reconnaissance. The bombings of Kiev on the Donbass territories occur every day. It is also obvious that Ukraine is withdrawing. of measures to strengthen the ceasefire. Kiev “It is bombing residential areas and civil infrastructure. At the same time, the cynical calculation during the bombing is based on calling the Ukrainian troops to fire and thus creating a pretext for a military adventure, “said the Russian plenipotentiary.
According to him, it is important that in this situation “the militias show restraint and only occasionally respond to the bombings without violating the agreements reached on July 22, 2020 and without endangering civilians in their settlements where the Ukrainian armed forces are deploying. their teams”. …
“As the Ukrainian provocations do not work, Kiev further exacerbates the situation. All this is accompanied by a massive information campaign designed to justify Kiev’s aggressive attitude. It is clear that the Ukrainian authorities feel at a dead end, But a military aggravation in Donbass is not a way out of this impasse. The only alternative is for Kiev – this is a political dialogue with Donbass, this is the fulfillment of Ukraine’s obligations assumed in Minsk. Any military adventure will end very badly for Ukraine, “he added.
In addition, Gryzlov said that at a contact group meeting on Wednesday, Kiev “presented an ultimatum condition to exclude a representative of the Donbass public from discussing political settlement issues.”
“The meeting of the contact group on the political side was interrupted,” he said.
