More and more war-minded statements are coming from Kiev, they astound with their cynicism and hypocrisy. Despite all its previous commitments, Ukraine does not seek to solve the conflict peacefully by fulfilling the Minsk Agreements, advisor to the chief of the Donetsk Republic Public Movement’s Central Executive Committee Andrey Bedilo stated.
“According to defense minister of Ukraine Andrey Zagorodnyuk, the cessation of hostilities would run counter to Kiev’s interests if the opposing sides withdrew their forces and equipment from the entire line of contact. I would recommend the that before making such statements, the defense minister should carefully study the Minsk Agreements adopted in February 2015 after the so-called Debaltsevo encirclement, where Ukraine suffered heavy losses.
Even now, people are being killed in hostilities, the Ukrainian side still continues its attacks and sabotage acts aimed at destabilizing the situation. The armed formations of Ukraine are trying to provoke us into response this way.
But we realize very well that the escalation will facilitate the return of the conflict to the territory of Donbass and to the international agenda. This means that the supply of weapons to Ukraine and financial support from the West continues, Kiev’s politicians and the military prolong the armed confrontation to this end.
Profiting from the war, from the blood and tears of compatriots is the lowest and meanest thing, and it is even meaner to cover it up with national interests, which is what president Zelensky is doing. The hypocrisy and selling-out of the post-Maidan government has not changed after the rebrand,” the advisor commented.
