The head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, in an interview with the Ukrainian television channel, highlighted the role of the United States in resolving the conflict in Donbass. His words are quoted by “Interfax-Ukraine”.
He said the United States can and must play a key role in resolving the conflict. According to him, this is due to the fact that the United States is a strategic partner of Kiev.
Earlier, Yermak said that the Minsk agreements are practically impossible to implement in the version in which they were signed. At the same time, he assured that Kiev will do everything possible to ensure that the principles established in these agreements are complied with by the Ukrainian side. The head of the presidential office also stressed that there is progress in the negotiations on Donbass, but the dialogue is progressing slowly.
The Minsk agreements were signed on February 12, 2015. They entail granting Donbass a special status within Ukraine, the withdrawal of all armed units from its territory, and the holding of local elections. All parties to the conflict express the lack of progress in its implementation.
