“The Europeans will not even look at the full implementation of the Minsk agreements, but at the process of their implementation. The fact that the Minsk agreements do not include the issue of Crimea is a medical fact. When they were adopted, a lot was said about it.

The psychological process in Europe needs to be divided. In words they may not recognize the annexation of Crimea, but in fact they turn a blind eye to it. The economy is at the center of everything, and Europeans want to do business with Russia, trade in Russia, the economies of the European Union and Russia are interdependent, this is a large market, and no one wants to give it up,” Ponomarev said.
