U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker has again accused Russia of escalation in Ukraine’s Donbas and called on Moscow to abide by the Minsk peace agreements.
“For the last five years Russia’s fighters & proxies have made life worse for the people in Donbas including the Russian-speakers it claims to care about. Russia should end the fighting, implement Minsk agreements, & allow reconstruction and reintegration of Donbas back to Ukraine’s control,” he tweeted on May 10.
Earlier, he said that U.S. could not and would not negotiate away rights of Ukrainian people. “Only Ukrainians can decide their future, and they have made clear they want their sovereignty, their territory, and to be part of Euro-Atlantic structures,” he said.
