The further fate of the Norman format and Minsk agreements on the conflict in the Donbass will be decided at the G7 summit in Italy.
This was stated by the former representative of Ukraine in the political subgroup of the Tripartite Contact Group in Minsk, Roman Bessmertny, Radio Liberty reports..
"Obviously, there during the consideration of key issues, and they, fortunately or for trouble, will concern the Eurasian region, and there will be stated the position of the Ukrainian and the Russian side. There will be decided the fate of the "Norman format", and the fate of the Minsk process. And the final point will be set in July, when in Hamburg the "Group of Seven". But the main events will begin to unfold after the meeting of the Group of Seven, "he said..
The diplomat believes that before this summit the Russian Federation will demonstrate a lull in the Donbass.
"Based on how events on the contact line develop, it is a maneuver, and the essence of the maneuver from the Russian side is to show a certain lull. But against the backdrop of this, against the backdrop of domestic problems that Russia has, it is preparing to exacerbate. This maneuver is an attempt to zamylit eyes to all participants before the "big seven". For me, it is obvious that Russia is accumulating forces, then to go on exacerbation, "added Bessmetrny.
As reported by the "Observer", US President Donald Trump, who on the margins of the summit should meet with the head of the Russian Federation, talked about plans for Ukraine.
