The Berlin talks in the Normandy format were held behind closed doors. Soon, however, and of the Ukrainian delegation from the Russian leaked.
How do know the details of Andrei Kolesnikov of “Kommersant”, of course: he’s a friend of Vladislav Surkov. Besides, Andrew — journalist status, he knows a lot of secrets of the Kremlin. And if you know, then trust him — would not say too much. Therefore, what he told about the details of the Berlin talks — not too much.
Although, of course, is not important.
And when once again it seemed that everything fell again, Angela Merkel stood up, took Petro Poroshenko by the arm, uttered two precious words, “Five minutes…” led Poroshenko in the corner where something had explain to him these very five minutes. He returned to the table natured man, agreed with all, and after a few minutes started all over again.
Ukrainian journalists and their sources has told other details.
Putin has tried to kill Poroshenko’s remark on the need to implement the political part of Minsk. Poroshenko has raised the voice: “No, you just stop shooting!”
Putin knowingly refused to answer the journalists ‘ questions, limiting himself to a short speech. In fact, he had nothing to say.
Briefly, the position of Ukraine in the negotiations was the following: without a ceasefire, without the OSCE mission on the border (surveillance along the entire border 24 hours a day, CCTV and warehouses under the arms), without the release of the hostages — no elections and other progress on the political part. To discuss the political track? Well. To move on it? No reason.
“Close the border. Disarm. Post the Ukrainian flag in Donetsk and Lugansk. Then we talk about what day we will appoint the elections,” says ЛІГА.net Ukrainian high-ranking source.
In General, Putin threatened Poroshenko thoroughly. A little while, and will return the Crimea. And Kuban from Khanty-Mansiysk to give, where with a gas.
And two hundred billion money.
But would not survive any more of this horror.
