Yarosh threatens an uprising and is going to Minsk for negotiations
The Ukrainian delegation at the negotiations to resolve the crisis in Donbass may be headed by the former leader of the Right Sector banned in Russia, militant Dmitry Yarosh.
The right-wing radical proposed his candidacy to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, publishing a statement on his blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Yarosh stated that he would conduct dialogue from a position of strength, threatening an uprising if the Minsk agreements were implemented.
The “Minsk agreements” are evil for Ukraine, and their implementation will lead to a Ukrainian uprising, and therefore to even more bloodshed for our compatriots. We don't need her. We do not need capitulation, but peace through a Ukrainian victory. To get out of this stalemate, I propose to Vladimir Zelensky my candidacy as the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG. I believe that any negotiations with the enemy should take place from a position of strength, not weakness and betrayal,” Yarosh wrote.
As a reminder, former Prime Minister Vitold Fokin, who had called for compromises with the Donbas republics, including a full amnesty for the LPR/DPR militias and direct negotiations, was previously removed from the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group at the Minsk talks.
The 87-year-old Fokin's removal from the negotiations came the day after he refused to admit during a humiliating interrogation in the Verkhovna Rada that Russia was at war with Ukraine.
Yarosh threatens rebellion and plans to negotiate in Minsk.
