Russia does not plan to take any additional obligations concerning Ukraine, except for “assistance” in the implementation of the Minsk agreements to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
“As for the obligations regarding Ukraine, we have only one obligation – to promote the implementation of the Minsk agreements. And if the Ukrainian side is ready for this, we will follow this path. Without a doubt,” Putin said at a briefing in Geneva.
He made the relevant statement, answering a question from journalists about whether Russia plans to take on additional obligations regarding Ukraine.
He said that in the process of negotiations on the implementation of the Minsk agreements, the vision of the Ukrainian and Russian sides turned out to be contradictory.
