Zelensky's appointee: We are cutting off water to Donbass. No special status
Ukraine will not make changes to the current Constitution so that Donbass receives a special status.
This was stated to Kommersant by Roman Bessmertny, appointed by President Vladimir Zelensky as the representative of Ukraine in the political subgroup of the trilateral contact group to resolve the situation in Donbass.
“No one from the Ukrainian side will change the constitution. The Ukrainian side will not return to this. There is no mention of any special status anywhere. We are talking about a special procedure for local self-government,” Bessmertny said.
He also proposes to tighten the blockade of the Donbass republics by Ukraine.
“If the people who make decisions asked me what needs to be done, I would tell them that it is necessary to declare Ukraine’s cessation of work in the Minsk format before the meeting of the leaders of the Normandy Four.” I agree with those who say that from this day on it is necessary to stop the supply of water, electricity, and cargo to the occupied territories. And also to suspend all work in the area of Stanitsa Luganskaya,” said the representative of Ukraine.
