Ukraine's representative to the
humanitarian subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group on resolving the Donbas
crisis, MP Iryna Gerashchenko claims the issue of amnesty for Donbas militants
has neither been raised nor agreed in Minsk.
"As for the amnesty. I responsibly declare
that neither during a meeting of the subgroups in Minsk on December 15, nor
during the previous political or our humanitarian debates, any draft law [on
the amnesty] was discussed and agreed," she wrote on Facebook.
In addition, Gerashchenko stressed that the
amnesty law should be adopted by the Parliament rather than by the Minsk groups.
"At the same time, Ukraine is strictly
adhering to the following positions: the provision of the Minsk agreements on
the release of 139
Ukrainians held captive by the militants has to
be implemented!" she said.
According to Gerashchenko, the amnesty should be
taken only after a complete ceasefire, not when the conflict is still under
way.
"There must be a clear separation of the
crimes committed by the persons who do not fall under any amnesty, namely those
who are involved in murders, tortures and other crimes against humanity,"
she said.
