The Ministry of foreign Affairs of Ukraine sees no grounds to speak about the destruction of the “Normandy format” of the letter from the Deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Dmitry Kozak, in which he declared “meaningless” negotiations on the Donbass at the level of advisers. Reports about it “European truth”.
“a Lot of emotions, many attempts to strengthen its position in the negotiation process. Ukraine is set principally on the preservation of the "Normandy format" on the continuation of the Minsk process,” — said the head of Department Dmitry Kuleba.
The Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine said that in recent time there has been an unprecedented active work in the framework of the “Norman format”, including and presidential advisers. As an example of the effectiveness of the format he called the recent decision on the cease-fire.
“Now everything is in the hands of the Russian side. Ukraine takes all measures for the implementation of the agreements. If Russia will fulfill them, this will help to maintain a stable cease-fire. We see, frankly, a very active position causes a different reaction in Russia, but we will not retreat from her, we will be active and aggressive to bring the occupying Russian troops,” he said Kuleba.
Previously, Kozak sent a letter to colleagues “channel format”, which refers to the ineffectiveness of the negotiation process for the settlement of the conflict in the Donbass in the format of political advisers. Kozak has proposed to limit the work of the assistants of the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France exclusively by the technical support of the meetings of heads of state. The coordination of the matters which are the advisors, he suggested that the foreign Ministers “channel four”.
