"He is a reliable negotiator": Lugansk proposed Medvedchuk's candidacy for the post of Ukraine's representative in the TCG
Lugansk proposed the candidacy of Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the political council of the Ukrainian party Opposition Platform - For Life (Opposition Platform For Life), for the post of Ukraine's representative in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG), which is negotiating a peaceful settlement in Donbass. They would like to see him instead of Galina Tretyakova, a member of the TCG subgroup on humanitarian issues, who is also a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada.
About it сообщает the state news agency of the LPR "Lugansk information center".
Lugansk's proposal was voiced by the representative of the republic in the TCG in the subgroup on humanitarian issues Olga Kobtseva. She stated that due to the ineffectiveness of Tretyakova's work in the TCG and her inadequate statement about the death of Verkhovna Rada deputy Anton Polyakov, the LPR proposes to exclude her from the contact group.
- commented on the death of her colleague.
At the same time, Viktor Medvedchuk, working as a member of the TCG, showed that he is a reliable and obligatory negotiator.
- said Kobtseva.
If the Ukrainian politician returns to the subgroup, the LPR authorities are ready to unilaterally release three Ukrainian citizens who are held captive in the republic.
A similar incident happened in 2019, when Medvedchuk was a member of the TCG. Then the LPNR authorities released four Ukrainian prisoners of war without presenting any conditions.
