It is unclear why the President of Ukraine Poroshenko introduced to the Verkhovna Rada in the development of the Minsk agreement text, extending from these agreements. I would have understood if as a result of discussions in Parliament this decision “has acquired” some ambiguities and contradictory formulations of Minsk. But in this form it was made “, – the diplomat said.
