Donetsk, Apr 13 - DAN. Ukraine has again derailed the political subgroup’s talks, members of the Donetsk People’s Republic delegation in the Contact Group said.

“We again state the fact of Ukraine’s unwillingness to begin substantive work on the established agenda,” a DPR delegation member said. “In another backslide to senseless blackmail and manipulation, Ukrainian representative derailed the session of the working group on political issues today.”

Earlier reports said that Donetsk had offered Kiev three options to break the deadlock over the participation of community representatives in the delegations of both aides. However, Kiev rejected these proposals. Kiev has been derailing political subgroup sessions since January 2021, when DPR and LPR community representatives joined the talks.*jk
