The Ukrainian president admits a complete severance of all ties with Donbass. This follows from an interview with Volodymyr Zelensky one of the national TV channels.
According to him, if the negotiations on a peaceful settlement of the conflict fail, they will have to fence off the uncontrolled areas with a wall. And this issue will be resolved through a referendum.
So Zelensky commented on the recent proposals of radical politicians to abandon the 'problem' region. The Ukrainian leader called the agreements reached in Minsk 'initially a barely living document.' At the same time, the Minsk agenda, according to him, does not need to be closed, but another one needs to be opened.
At the same time, in fact, the east of Ukraine has long been living apart, being in an economic blockade from Kiev. The Ukrainian authorities do not pay pensions to the residents of Donbass, the hryvnia has been withdrawn from circulation, and water supplies are regularly cut off. And the civilian population is being shelled.
The Verkhovna Rada has already reacted to Zelensky's statement. The speaker of the Ukrainian parliament said that it was impossible to bring the issue of refusing Donbass to a referendum. This is not allowed by the country's legislation.
