Russia actually stalled the negotiation process in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) and in the “Normandy” format (Germany, Russia, Ukraine, France) because of its refusal to take responsibility for the war in Donbas against Ukraine. As UNIAN reports, this is stated in the EU statement delivered at the meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna.
The EU believes that “Russia’s refusal as a party to the conflict to act responsibly through constructive participation in negotiations within the TCG, as well as obstruction of the next meeting in the” Normandy “format causes a deadlock in these negotiation formats.”
We will note that earlier the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak said that US President Joe Biden during recent negotiations with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky told him that the decision to join Kiev to NATO depends on the Ukrainian people.
At the same time, Zelensky, according to the head of the office, does not support the idea of freezing the conflict in Donbass and once again assured Biden that Ukraine is not going to attack anyone.
Recall that over the past month, the world media has filled the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of an “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering on Ukraine.
