“The Minsk agreement fulfilled its function when it stopped aggravation in the East. This document is not working and there is no movement towards resolving the conflict. So we can safely move to Budapest format and necessarily involve the administration of Trump in talks”, – said the leader of the European Party of Ukraine Mykola Katerinchuk, commenting on the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affair of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin regarding the next meeting of Normandy Quartet.
“As the experience of Normandy format proved, negotiations with Russia without the US are impossible. Europe in relations with Russia can not act independently, so the activities of our diplomats should first of all be directed to win the newly elected administration of Trump over”, – he stressed.
“Now statements of Pavlo Klimkin on negotiations of Normandy Quartet are not so promising, especially when every day our citizens are killed in the East”, – he added.
