Donetsk, Oct 11 – DAN. Ukrainian unilateral actions in disengagement areas shall be considered provocations to derail negotiations efforts, said DPR Foreign Minister Natalia Nikonorova.

“We are going to raise the issue of coordinating a new date for disengagement at the Minsk talks. The key factor is synchronicity and harmonization of the disengagement. Any actions must begin and end synchronically within the agreed time limits.”

She said that Ukraine has also blocked a possible

BRICS, Russia/Western Zero-Sum Geopolitics is a Dead-End

The US and its Western allies are creating more international tensions and instability in a futile bid to carve the globe into “spheres of interest” and “exclusivity”. That’s the way Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov views it, and few objective observers of international relations could disagree with his admonishment.

Russia’s top diplomat says the only way forward is for multilateralism to prevail and for all states to abide by the principles of the United Nations’ Charter, to which they are signatories.

A prime example of the destructive US-led Western policy is seen in the Persian Gulf where tensions have reached an explosive pitch which could trigger an all-out war across the Middle East, possibly embroiling the entire world.

There can be little doubt that the precarious situation in the Gulf is extant because of Washington’s irresponsible provocations towards Iran. The unilateral abrogation of the landmark 2015 nuclear accord by the Trump administration and the militarization of an already dominant US presence in the Gulf over recent months is

Donetsk, Sep 18 – DAN. Ukraine at the Wednesday talks in Minsk sabotaged the coordination of the Steinmeier formula threatening the holding of the “Normandy Four” summit, the Donetsk People’s Republic Foreign Minister, DPR representative to the Minsk talks Natalia Nikonorova said.

“Kiev flatly refused to coordinate the ‘Steinmeier formula’ with the Republic’s representatives threatening the holding of the “Normandy Four” summit and actually sabotaging the clear instructions by the “Normandy Four” leaders’ political advisers,” Nikonorova said. “Ukrainian representatives continue to distort the meaning of the compromise formula mistakenly prioritising the

Donetsk, Sep 17 – DAN. The Ukrainian leadership has to start fulfilling the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements instead of “reinventing the wheel,” the Donetsk People’s Republic Foreign Minister, DPR envoy to the Minsk talks Natalia Nikonorova told the Donetsk News Agency on Tuesday.

“Over the past few days, we have heard many resounding statements by Ukrainian authorities who show the wonders of ingenuity and cunning in the hope to avoid the implementation of the Minsk Agreements,” Nikonorova said. “However, no matter how much Kiev wants to change things, Ukraine had and still has quite definite and clearly stated Donbass settlement obligations, confirmed by the international community.”

Instead of inventing vague formulae and promising certain radical measures, the Ukrainian leadership

Donetsk, Jul 9 – DAN. Ukrainian authorise are trying to dodge their commitments under the Minsk Agreements as they are, Donetsk People’s Republic Foreign Minister, the Republic’s representative to the Contact Group talks Natalia Nikonorova said on Tuesday.

On Monday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in a post on Facebook suggested to Russian President Vladimir Putin a meeting in Minsk with the USA, Great Britain, Germany and France as mediators. “Let’s discuss whose Crimea is and who is not in Donbass,” he wrote. Zelensky suggested “the following company” for the conversation: US president Donald Trump, British prime minister Theresa May, German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Emmanuel Macron.

“Instead of beginning an open, direct and effective dialogue with us, the new Ukrainian leadership prefers to fill the media space with unsubstantiated statements which are nearly identical with former Ukrainian authorities’ rhetoric,” Nikonorova said. “A shining example is
