THAT Kremlin reported this Wednesday the 20th that a draft document in the peace talks was delivered to Ukraine. “Today we deliver to the Ukrainian side our draft document, which contains absolutely clear and elaborate wording,” said spokesman Dmitry Peskov. “The ball is in their hands and we are waiting for an answer,” added the Russian Presidency’s communications chief. This is an unprecedented step in the conflict that has now ended two months ago. Despite waiting for a return, Peskov didn’t give a timeframe and said it depended Kyiv, who again said they are not making any arrangements to quickly reach a ceasefire. “I repeat once again, and we have already said this several times, that the dynamics on the Ukrainian side leave a lot to be desired,” said the Kremlin spokesman, who emphasized that the Ukrainian negotiators do not show a great tendency to intensify the negotiation process . .
The announcement of the sending of this document will be made at a time when the Russia increased its offensive in eastern Ukraine, focusing on Donbass, a place that has recognized the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent Wladimir Putin on February 21st. During the press conference, Peskov criticized the behavior of Ukraine, which he said was changing the previously discussed agreements and backing away from the proposals themselves. “Of course, this has very bad consequences in terms of the effectiveness of the negotiations,” said the spokesman.
