ARKHANGELSK, September 15. /TASS/. Kiev may use any pretext to continue to sabotage the Minsk-2 package on Ukrainian settlement, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolay Patrushev said on Tuesday.
"I think that [Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko] is hushing up a fourth scenario of developments, under which Kiev will sabotage the implementation of the Minsk agreements using any pretext for that," he told journalists.
Patrushev cited the Ukrainian president as saying that some political forces were suggesting three scenarios of the development of the situation in south-eastern Ukraine. The first one provided for the ‘liberation’ of Donbas to be followed by a campaign against Moscow. The second one was to accept that Ukraine had lost Donbas, and the third one was to completely implement the Minsk agreements. "I don’t think it is worth dwelling on why all the three are unrealistic," Patrushev said.
"The current situation in south-eastern Ukraine demonstrates that official Kiev is not going to recognize the DPR and LPR [the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics]. It repeatedly violates the Minsk agreements, playing footsie to anti-Russian moods, flirting with Ukrainian neo-Nazis supported by Washington," he said.
The Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine comprising senior representatives from Russia, Ukraine and the European security watchdog OSCE on February 12, 2015, signed a 13-point Package of Measures to fulfill the September 2014 Minsk agreements. The package was agreed with the leaders of the Normandy Four, namely Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine).
The Package of Measures, known as Minsk-2, envisaged a ceasefire between Ukrainian government forces and people’s militias in the self-proclaimed republic in Donetsk and Luhansk starting from February 15 and subsequent withdrawal of heavy weapons from the line of engagement. The deal also laid out a roadmap for a lasting settlement in Ukraine, including local elections and constitutional reform to give more autonomy to the war-torn eastern regions.
