More than 12 hours in Minsk, negotiations continued in the "Norman format" to de-escalate the conflict in eastern Ukraine with the participation of the presidents of Ukraine, Russia and France, Petro Poroshenko, Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. However, because of the representatives of the self-proclaimed “DPR” and “LPR”, the agreement was never signed. This was reported by the publication "European truth", Referring to the" European diplomatic source. "

“Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky do not sign the compromise agreed upon by the leaders with Putin. They do this according to the instructions of the Russians themselves, who are working to disrupt agreements and to demonstrate that supposedly the “DPR” and “LPR” are independent subjects of negotiations... At a critical moment we are seeing cheap theater. But it is obvious to everyone here that peace does not seem to be in the interests of Russia and its proxies,” a European diplomat told the publication.

He also stressed that the position of Merkel, Hollande and Poroshenko is one and it is based on respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Note that negotiations to end the military conflict in the east of Ukraine lasted all night and ended only in 9: 00. However, after the refusal of the leaders of the militants to sign an agreement, they continued, writes AmericaRu.com
