Statement of NSDC Secretary Alexander Turchinov on the drafting of a bill providing for the abolition of ATU in the Donbass is part of a strategy that the authorities are beginning to implement.
This was broadcast on the TV channel ZIK said the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, diplomat Vladimir Ogryzko.
"Nothing is random today. And the fact that yesterday the NSDC secretary made such a statement, one does not need to perceive this as something he wanted simply to talk about. This is an element of a certain strategy, which is now beginning to become public, "Ogryzko stressed..
He noted that often on some important things the authorities do not always make loud statements and announcements, and especially if this information is about national security.
According to Ogryzko, today we often discuss whether we need a new law on the occupied territories. In particular, the diplomat notes that very often military leaders think that without this law they do not have the right to shoot in response to aggression.
"But there is such a thing as international law. In particular, Ukraine is a part of this large international legal mechanism, we are members of the UN and have signed the UN Charter for a very long time, we also join all resolutions that are adopted at the UN. So, I just want to remind you that according to 51 st. The UN Charter, every state, is an object of aggression and has the right to self-defense, "Ogryzko assured..
The diplomat also added that back in 1974 the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution in which there are 8 clear definitions of what an aggressor is. The diplomat says, if we raise it now, then the Russian Federation falls 150% on all these grounds.
Recall, it became more known that the people's deputies prepared a bill on the termination of the ATU and the transition to a new format of resistance to Russian aggression in the Donbass.
The representative of the General Staff of the APU Vladislav Seleznev stated that the authority to abolish the ATU is available only to the military-political elite of Ukraine.
