The press Secretary of Leonid Kuchma, representing Kiev on the negotiations in Minsk, Darya olifer said that during the next round of negotiations on the settlement of the situation in the Donbass, the Ukrainian side insisted on the return of all sections of the Ukrainian-Russian border under control”. While Ms. olifer, talking about the talks in Minsk, once again was named the violators of the Minsk agreements by the DNI and the LC, which in Kiev’s interpretation sounds like “ORDA” (special areas of Donetsk and Lugansk regions).
Olifer wrote on Facebook:
Ukraine says: restoration monitoring of the state border will contribute to the improvement of the security situation. Therefore, we insist on discussing this issue within the framework of the Trilateral contact group, as well as on admission to this area of the border representatives of the OSCE SMM.
Until then, until it is solved a block of questions on security, it is impossible to move forward in resolving political, humanitarian and socio-economic problems.
Representatives ORDO go from a discussion of the release of the hostages and do not give information on the whereabouts of many of our citizens. Coordinator of the OSCE in the sub-group on humanitarian Affairs Tony Frisch was not allowed to illegally held in ORDA. At the same time on the territory controlled by Kiev, experts from international organizations can visit any prison and talk to those who violated the Ukrainian law. In ORDA prisons are closed to representatives of the OSCE, the International Committee of the red cross, Doctors without borders and other international organizations. This state of Affairs in humanitarian issues should not be left without special attention of the leaders of the Normandy Quartet.
Strange, but Ms. olifer “forgets” that a few weeks ago there was a scandal in connection with the fact that representatives of human rights organizations were not allowed to held people in prisons, security service, and did not provide the OSCE with accurate report as to the number of prisoners in these prisons at the moment is.
Statement on the necessity of taking Kiev to the border control, the press Secretary of Leonid Kuchma once again makes it clear that the Minsk agreement on Ukraine, no one is going to study properly. And agreements in black and white that Ukraine needs to start a constitutional reform, giving a real Donbas a special status, to give the opportunity to carry out local elections, to abandon all blockades, not to mention the necessity of withdrawal of troops and weapons, and also for the exchange of prisoners and Amnesty for participants of armed resistance. And only after all of these items could claim “necessity of border control”, although how exactly this control is carried out, there are also questions, particularly in connection with the actions of the nationalist battalions tried to implement, for example, blockade of the Crimea.
