Former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, Ukraine's representative in the Trilateral Contact Group for settling the Donbas crisis, insists on resolving security issues in the area, without which it will be impossible to switch to political matters, Kuchma's press secretary Darka Olifer said.

"During a meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group, Leonid Kuchma once again aired Ukraine's position: without resolving security issues, it is impossible to switch to addressing political issues, including elections in the part of Donbas that is not under Ukraine's control. There are no conditions for holding them now," Olifer said on Facebook following a Trilateral Contact Group meeting in Minsk on Friday.
