Unfortunately, during the meeting, no result was achieved. On this Tuesday, January 30, at a joint press conference with Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano in Kiev, Klimkin himself declared.
He also explained that he is in constant contact with Volcker and communicated with him, both before the meeting with Surkov, and after it.
At the same time, the Minister noted that Ukraine intends to consistently exert pressure to implement the logic of the road map of the Minsk Agreements and expressed the hope that recent developments, including from the American side, will "help" Moscow understand that its proposals for bodyguards for SMM does not make any sense, but we need a real peacekeeping mission.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, Volcker after the meeting with Surkov said that Russia has given its consent to the deployment of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Donbass. At the same time, the Kremlin agrees to be located not only on the contact line, but also on wider territories, he explained, adding that if the peacekeeping mission starts working, it can later be expanded.
