Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

Ukraine is experiencing a unique moment when the Minsk agreements can be implemented, and the so-called "Zelenskyy plan" above all provides for an understanding with Ukrainians who remained in the temporarily occupied territories, Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said in an interview with Hromadske. He specified that elections in the Donbas can only take place under Ukrainian law, and only the Central Election Commission and the Ukrainian Parliament can determine exactly how. The Minister also explained the essence of the "Steinmeier formula", what the conditions for the talks between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin in the Normandy format are, what is happening with the exchange, what to expect from Zelenskyy’s visit to the U.S. and the planned meeting of the Ukrainian president with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump.
