Format of negotiations on Donbas can be varied, but should not destroy Minsk Agreements
The issue of a Donbas conflict settlement is not the format of negotiations, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.
"The issue is not the format. We can have any number of formats," Poroshenko said in Kharkiv on Friday, in commenting to Interfax-Ukraine on proposals made by Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski on an alternative option of negotiations on the settlement of the Donbas conflict.
"The problem is that the Russian Federation, the aggressor country, should be compelled to remove its troops from Ukrainian territory, give us back control over the uncontrolled part of the Ukrainian-Russian border and allow for the restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty," the president said.
Other formats should not destroy the Minsk Agreements, Poroshenko said. "The format can be of any kind, but it should not destroy the Minsk Agreements," he said.
