“In my opinion, as soon as we put UN peacekeepers, we can talk about the positive achievement in terms of a political settlement of the situation in the Donbass. Russia, which is party to the conflict, should not participate in a future UN peacekeeping operation,” – said the Deputy head of AP.
According to Eliseeva, “the peacekeeping operation of the UN must be placed along the entire occupied territory of Donbass, including the uncontrolled part of the Ukrainian-Russian border”.
Recall, September 5, the Russian President put forward the initiative on the deployment of peacekeepers in the Donbas. However, one of its main conditions was the placement of the UN peacekeeping mission on the demarcation line.
At the same time, Ukraine’s permanent representative to the UN Volodymyr Yelchenko said that the UN peacekeeping mission in the case of the introduction in the Donbass should be located on the Russian-Ukrainian borderand the participation of representatives of Russia excluded.
