The Ukrainian delegation did not receive any complaints from the Russian side during the talks in Turkey, reported "RBC-Ukraine".
The Adviser to the Head of the OP Mikhail Podolyak, commenting on the words of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov about "the withdrawal from the agreements reached in Istanbul".
Podolyak said that the Ukrainian delegation, headed by David Arahamia, does not cooperate with Lavrov's group in the negotiations.
"That is why it is difficult to understand what he means and why he is commenting on the problem in general. We did not receive such claims from the Russian negotiators", - said the deputy head of the OB.
Podolyak stressed - the Ukrainian delegation works strictly within the framework of the Istanbul formula, which takes into account primarily the interests of Ukraine.
"Definitely, the work of the legal groups includes the amendment of the statements, specification of the statements. But not more. We do understand the position of the russian side and Lavrov's current statements", - added Mikhail Podolyak.
He said that Russia sees a rapid increase of negative global assessments of the methods of warfare, as well as its readiness to abstain from the rules and customs of warfare. "And that's why they are trying to destroy these attitudes with such statements", - added the adviser to the OP's head.
We would like to remind you that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the draft agreement with Russia, which was presented by Ukraine the day before, "contains a deviation from the provisions registered at the meeting in Istanbul. According to Lavrov, Ukraine had earlier promised that security guarantees would not extend to Crimea, but the new version of the treaty does not include this clause.
