Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský It supports Canada’s proposal to set a deadline to which Russia should proceed to the ceasefire. He said this after the end of the meeting of NATO diplomacy heads in Brussels. According to Russia, it is, in his words, “maximum skeptical”, says TASR.
Foreign Ministers Britain and France accused Russia of delaying negotiations on a ceasefire with Ukraine on Friday. Moscow called on the United States trying to convey the ceasefire to provide an immediate answer. According to Canadian diplomacy chief Melanie Joly, the deadline for which Russia should proceed to the ceasefire should be set.
Lipavský also agrees. “I fully support it. I am most skeptical about the Russian approach. We will see where these negotiations will go, but my confidence in the promise of the Russian side is really very restrained. Russia was not able to observe even the most basic and simplest things, such as stopping fire on energy goals, ”said the Czech minister. The specific dates at the two -day meeting did not sound.
Asked whether Ukraine would receive at the NATO Summit in the Hague in the Hague that he was on his way to the alliance, as it was in the past, Lipavský answered that the Czech Republic would try to do so. “The long -term perspective is right. We don’t know what the date is and when it could happen,” said the minister. He stressed that there should be no peace agreement that would limit Ukraine to deciding whether or not to be in an international organization.
“On the other hand, let’s be practical. If we see that there is not so much will now, let us look for ways rather than helping Ukraine. But at the same time, let’s not close the door in this variant, ”Lipavský added.
