US will not lift Russia’s sanctions even with Minsk
According to him, the removal of restrictions prevents the transition of the Crimea to Russia.
Earlier, a number of European leaders, in particular, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, made a statement saying that restrictions could be lifted from Moscow after the implementation of the Minsk-2.
Western countries impose responsibility on Russia for the implementation of the Minsk agreements and link with this the lifting of sanctions. Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is not a party to the conflict, but is only one of the guarantors of the Minsk process.
Kurt Volker also criticized the Russian proposals for the UN peacekeeping mission in the Donbas.
He criticized the idea that the mission would be located on the contact line, not on the whole territory, would protect the members of the OSCE monitoring mission, not the residents, and would not have access to the Russian-Ukrainian border.
