Such a statement he made in an interview with Radio Liberty, which was published on Wednesday, January 24.

According to Volcker, at the moment, Russian control in the Donbass is still present. Therefore, this law is unlikely to bring some ambitious amendments in the east of Ukraine.

According to the law, a full-scale military operation is under way in the Donbass, and not ATU, as it was considered the last few years. Also, the representative of the State Department is sure that Ukraine has not violated the Minsk agreements by adopting this law.

"Ukraine has passed a law on special status, an amnesty law, is ready to hold local elections, when conditions.

Therefore, I think that Ukraine adheres to agreements. As for me, it is necessary that the Russian side also fulfill its part, including compliance with the ceasefire, "added Volcker.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the German federal government is ready to take up the study of the new Ukrainian law on the reintegration of Donbass. The new law on the reintegration of Donbass is one more step towards the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
