Kiev’s Plans to Deploy Peacekeepers Cast Doubt on Minsk Deal (Vitaly Churkin)

Kiev's plans to request the deployment of peacekeepers in the country's east cast doubt on Kiev's intention to adhere to the Minsk agreements, Russia's envoy to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said Thursday...

On February 12, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France hammered out a deal on the Ukrainian reconciliation. The monitoring of the reconciliation process is carried out by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

"If some other schemes are proposed [apart from the Minsk agreements], it raises the question of whether the Minsk agreements are going to be adhered to or not," Churkin said.

On Thursday, the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council's secretary Oleksandr Turchynov said that the council had decided to address the UN and the EU on the deployment of peacekeepers in the country.

Turchynov said that the peacekeepers should be stationed at the line of contact and the Russian-Ukrainian border.

According to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, a EU police mission is the best format of international presence in the country.

  2. El jefe del Parlamento de la autoproclamada República Popular de Donetsk, Andréi Purguín, calificó de anticipado el posible despliegue de los pacificadores de la ONU en Donbás....

    "De momento la OSCE cumple las funciones de control, es una medida prematura", afirmó Purguín a RIA Nóvosti este jueves.

    Indicó que si es necesario, los pacificadores deberán ser de Rusia.

    Purguín destacó que el posible envío de los cascos azules violará los acuerdos de Minsk y la actitud de la república de Donetsk es muy negativo respecto a esta medida.

    “In regard to peacekeepers…from the very beginning, when this whole conflict began, we suggested the Russian Federation and all the other countries that are included in the UN Security Council to consider the issue of sending peacekeepers then.

    "The appeal of the Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council to UN calling for deployment of peacekeepers at the Russian-Ukrainian border in Donbas is a breach of the package of February 12 measures obliging Ukraine to negotiate border issues with self-defense forces," the Donetsk News Agency quoted Pushilin as saying.

  5. Russia on Thursday said Ukraine's call for peacekeepers to enforce a largely shattered ceasefire deal was aimed at destroying the agreement....

    Kiev called for the deployment of UN-mandated peacekeepers after pro-Russian rebels ignored a ceasefire deal reached in Minsk last week and launched a fierce assault on the eastern town of Debaltseve, forcing the withdrawal of Kiev troops from the strategic hub.

    Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the call for peacekeepers, made by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, was aimed at destroying the Minsk accords.

    "When someone, instead of doing what he has signed up to, suggests a new scheme and so soon, that raises suspicions that he wants to destroy the Minsk accords," he was quoted as saying by the state RIA Novosti news agency..................http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/123404.aspx
