Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate – November 14,2021- Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that his country never recognizes itself as a party to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
“The Minsk agreements do not state that Russia is a party to the conflict, and we have never and will never agree with it, we are not … we all try to encourage the implementation of the Minsk agreements, often accused of not fulfilling them. But when we ask our partners, including in the Normandy format Exactly what Russia does not do under the Minsk agreements and what, in your opinion, Russia should do under the Minsk agreements, there is no answer. ”
At the same time, in his opinion, Ukraine is torpedoing the Minsk agreements and violating them.
“They use Bayraktars , ie unmanned aerial vehicles. They are aircraft, unmanned, but they are used in the conflict zone, which is strictly forbidden by the Minsk agreements and subsequent agreements. But no one even reacts to it, and the United States has practically supported it. “Europe has said something vague about it, and the United States has generally supported it. And officials in Ukraine are outspoken: they have applied and will continue to do so. At the same time, they have organized unscheduled exercises in the Black Sea, ” Putin complained.
We will remind: fighting in the east of Ukraine proceeds since 2014, after occupation of the Crimea. Russia consistently supplies arms and ammunition to the territory of Ukraine occupied by it and its proxy , as well as specialists who service, including the latest models of equipment, which are Russian developments and are not produced or used anywhere in the world except Russia. This applies to both electronic countermeasures and new models of military equipment, which local militants are fully equipped with.
Foreign countries have repeatedly recognized Russia as a party to the conflict , called for an end to the supply of militants and withdraw their troops from the occupied territories of Ukraine, but the Kremlin leadership continues to pretend that objective reality does not exist and impose lies on its citizens and the international community.
