President
Petro Poroshenko believes his task for 2016 is to return Ukrainian sovereignty
to Donbas.
In the course
of his speech at the meeting of the General Assembly of representatives of
local authorities - members of the Association of Cities of Ukraine, the Head
of State emphasized: "My task is to return Ukrainian sovereignty to Donbas
in 2016. Yesterday in Davos, the speakers confirmed this position - in 2016
Russia must fulfill all items of the Minsk agreements. It is the only reason
for a partial easing of sanctions".
The President
emphasized that we cannot allow freezing of the conflict. "We do not have
any examples of return of "frozen" territories. Didn't we learn
someting from the experience of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh,
Transnistria? Each year of frozen conflict distances us from the return of
sovereignty," the Head of State said.
The President
warned against games with fire of territorial integrity. "The logic of the
Minsk process ensures the restoration of sovereignty of the Ukrainian
Donbas," he said.
The President
said that it was necessary to correspond progress in the implementation of the
Minsk agreements with the approval of constitutional changes on
decentralization by the Parliament.
The President
once again expressed confidence that the MPs would approve constitutional
amendments in the second reading.
The Head of
State emphasized that decentralization was supported by the Ukrainian nation.
"We will not let anyone ignore our opinion. We will not let anyone
destabilize the society," he said.
"Political forces willing to block the peace process, should
understand the aftermath of their actions. They will lead to the restoration of
hot phase of conflict with Russia. If we do not coordinate actions with
international partners, we will remain alone without political and military
support and without sanctions," the President noted.
