21.07.2015 10:14 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
As of yesterday, the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko met with Ukraine’s representative in the Trilateral Contact Group for peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbas Leonid Kuchma and representatives of Ukraine in its working subgroups dealing political, security, social and economic, and humanitarian issues, President Petro Poroshenko Press Office reports.
As to the report, the Head of State required reasonable explanation of the essence of activities currently carried out in Ukraine, including the launch of the implementation of amendments to the Constitution related to the decentralization, which is the key reform. As to the President, such amendments to the Constitution and the Law on Local Self-Government Aspects in some parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions are in full compliance with Ukraine’s commitments under the Minsk agreements.
The Head of State suggested that the fact that further effective discussion of arranging local elections in some parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions would be possible only subject to a clear refusal to arrange fictitious elections on 18 Oct and 1 Nov should be the basis point for the subgroup dealing with political issues. As to the President, fictitious elections arranged on 2 Nov had disrupted the implementation of the Minsk agreements last year.
Also, the Head of State stressed the importance of ensuring free access of the Ukrainian and international humanitarian aid. «Humanitarian aid should reach the destination only through the controlled land border with Ukraine with full customs clearance,» Poroshenko said.
The President also noted the feasibility of engaging leading international agencies, including the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in the activities of mobile groups monitoring humanitarian aid flows. So, he said, due to the Law, special forces must receive extended rights to control goods, which should be ensured as soon as possible to prevent the trade flows criminalizing.
