Kyiv displeased with Russian draft of Donbas settlement roadmap

Ukraine cannot accept the roadmap drafted by Russia in case it has a provision on ending the military operation in Donbas, Ukrainian representative to the political subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group for Donbas Olha Aivazovska said.

"I think that security measures are the source of biggest differences. This is because the Russian Federation has declared in various formats the possibility of ending the anti-terrorism operation as roadmap provision No 1, including in the roadmap published at the beginning of the year," Aivazovska told the press in Kyiv on Tuesday.

"We cannot speak about its acceptance by Ukraine if this provision remains suggested for the document," she said.

Ukraine has its own draft of the roadmap, Aivazovska said, noting that the sides mostly differed over security measures.

The 'Normandy format' foreign ministers will meet in Minsk on November 29.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said he intended to present the Ukrainian draft of the Donbas settlement roadmap at the meeting of the foreign ministers.
