Ukrainian president's envoy for peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbas, humanitarian subgroup member of the Trilateral Contact Group Iryna Heraschenko has advised her Russian counterpart in the Contact Group to familiarize himself with the Minsk agreements and not "to repeat mantras."

She made these comments following Gryzlov's interview.

"I carefully read in fact the first interview of the new representative of the aggressor state Russia to the Trilateral Contact Group Gryzlov with Kremlin's Kommersant newspaper. Generally, he publicly recited all the public mantras of the Russian president [Vladimir] Putin regarding 'the two parties, Kyiv and Donetsk' (their favorite topic of 'civil war and a direct dialogue'), he recognized the violation of the ceasefire regime (however, for unknown reasons in the context of 'Ukraine's Armed Forces and volunteer battalions, though the OSCE daily records violations by militants and reflects them in their latest reports, including in Minsk," Heraschenko wrote on her Facebook account on Monday.

She also noted that Gryzlov once again spouted a mantra that Kyiv "failed to coordinate" constitutional changes with militants.

"Well, first of all, the Minsk agreements contain no provisions that oblige Kyiv to coordinate anything with anyone; the agreements actually say that the election dates have to be negotiated with Donbas (at the same time, for some reason Gryzlov 'forgot' that their puppets 'held' unrecognized elections" as early as in November, 2014, which were not endorsed even by Moscow, and which broke the Minsk agreements," she wrote.

In this respect Ukraine's envoy recalled that militants had not yet cancelled those pseudo-elections, "that is why they called themselves 'speakers', 'premiers', and 'the friends of emperor'."

"It would be good if Gryzlov at least read the text of the Minsk agreements and didn't repeat non-existent notions after Putin," Heraschenko summed up.

Besides, she stressed that constitutional changes were solely the prerogative of the parliament of the independent country and Constitution clearly defined the subject of submission of amendments to the Main Law.

"We will unconditionally follow Ukraine's Constitution, and not the vision of the aggressor state. As regards the two sides, indeed, there are two parties, namely: Ukraine that is sustaining aggression, and Russia which has despicably chopped a part of our territory. That is why we firmly request the compliance with Minsk agreements by Russia, specifically on the following provisions: withdrawal of the military and equipment, all of those lost officers of Russia's security services and of those Yakut and Pskov college students, closure of the border, and then we will resolve the situation at our home, without 'brothers'
