Let us recall that yesterday in Moscow it was announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin “welcomes information about the beginning of preliminary contacts with Viktor Medvedchuk in Donetsk and Lugansk. “Medvedchuk, as you know, is the leader of the Ukrainian Choice public movement and consistently supports the idea of federalization of Ukraine. At the same time, he is respected in Kyiv, and people in the West are familiar with him,” said Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
Today, the press service of Ukrainian Choice released information that “the negotiating mediation group consisting of Viktor Medvedchuk and Nestor Shufrych, together with the OSCE contact group, is in Donbass.”
Let us recall that earlier the ex-president of Ukraine, the author of the book “Ukraine is not Russia,” stated the need for clear and tough measures to resolve the situation in the eastern regions of Ukraine, thus supporting the conduct of the ATO.
