For freedom of peacekeeping
Ukraine can offer its project a resolution on the peacekeeping mission in the Donbass in the UN. This was stated by the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Vladimir Yelchenko, reports "112 Ukraine".
“We have all this, developed. It is in the hands of our partners. We will see for several days, if necessary, we will introduce and distribute our alternative. Another option is to work on the basis of the Russian project. This does not mean that everything should remain the way they wrote,” said Yelchenko. - Necessarily in this mission it will have to indicate that it will be located throughout the territory of Donbass, primarily on the Russian-Ukrainian state border. Another question that is fundamental for us is the conclusion before the deployment of the UN mission of all foreign troops, and they are there alone by the Russian Federation, ”the diplomat emphasized.
In addition, in Kyiv it is believed that among the "blue helmets" there should not be Russian troops, and peacekeepers will not only engage in the protection of OSCE observers. "The country that is a side of the conflict, Russia, can not be a peacekeeper. It cannot only be the protection of OSCE observers. It is easier to arm them for this, and not to start there some other military forces of the UN that will protect them. We do not agree that we must agree with representatives of the Ordlo, since Russia is the side of the conflict," said the Ukrainian diplomat.
Earlier, Russia repeatedly prevented the introduction of a resolution on the peacekeeping mission in the Donbass in the UN Security Council, threatening the veto, Yelchenko emphasized.
On Tuesday, Russia sent the UN Secretary General and the Chairman of the Security Council a draft resolution on the establishment of the UN Mission in eastern Ukraine, the UN news center reports . The constant representative of Russia at the UN Vasily Nebenae at the same time referred to the corresponding statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin, made at the BRICS summit.
“This would benefit the problem of the problem in the south -east of Ukraine. But, of course, we can only talk about the function of ensuring the security of the OSCE employees. These forces should be in this connection on the demarcation line and in any other territories. The solution of this issue should take place only after breeding the parties and the removal of heavy equipment,” the Russian Permanent Representative emphasized.
Nebenzya actually repeated the statement of Putin made on Tuesday at a press conference in China. The Russian president then supported the idea of introducing to the Donbass "not peacekeepers, but those people who ensure the safety of the OSCE mission." In addition, according to Putin, "this cannot be decided without direct contact with representatives of the self -proclaimed republics - the DPR and the LPR."
In the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Putin’s words were regarded as “the next attempt by Russia as a part of the conflict to present aggression in the Inters -Ukrainian conflict and distort the idea and purpose of the introduction of a peacekeeping operation.”
