on Tuesday morning, the foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba held a traditional briefing for Ukrainian and foreign journalists. Please colleagues explain why the supposedly “foiled” yesterday the meeting of Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky clearly prevailed over other issues, addressed to the newsmaker. The head of the Ukrainian foreign Ministry, it seemed at least strange. Allegedly, the leaders of the two neighbouring States was not going July 19th to personally contact each other. At the same time Kuleba voiced the condition that Zelensky will arrive in Crimea as officials. It seems absolutely impossible.
Talking about the behind-the-scenes meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine broke out from the neighbors after the news about the rest Zelensky of the island biruchiy. Homegrown analysts suggested: Zelensky flew on Fedotov spit, not so much for drastic recuperation, how much for the possibility in the case of “signal” someone from the environment of Dmitry Kozak immediately “move” in the direction indicated to him the place where also “pull” the Russian leader. I do not exclude the option with the arrival of Vladimir Putin’s “dacha of Khrushchev” in Genichesk district, Kherson region. The state residence on the island biruchiy (which should be understood as “Wolf) exists since Soviet times. However, the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev fully rested on it only one time.
Canned state residence, according to some, 17 years ago, I used to talks about the fate of the island of Tuzla Vladimir Putin and his then Ukrainian counterpart Leonid Kuchma.
As you probably remember, the readers of “MK” in September 2003 of Russian Temryuk to the then Ukrainian Tuzla builders began to fill the dam. The work was carried out in three shifts, during each day, the length of the dam was increased by 150 meters. In those days in the youth center of Kiev organization UNA-UNSO (banned in Russia) led volunteering “to war with Russia”; crowds of people hurried to “stake out” the right to be considered “Syrym Ukrainian patriot.”
a Military confrontation, fortunately, managed to avoid. When the Russian “remakes” and Ukrainian border Outpost was less than 100 meters, the leaders of the Slavic friendly States managed to negotiate the cessation of further construction.
Recall: through Tuzla is opened in the year before the Crimean bridge road, and railway line, through which on Sunny Peninsula which can be accessed directly from Moscow and St. Petersburg.
because Of analogies with “historic talks” with Putin, Ukrainian politicians, and especially journalists together talking about the future, the new ��Strachey at the highest level. Of course, none of them had hoped that yesterday, who was in the Crimea, the President of the Russian Federation will suddenly and “return” Zelensky “illegally annexed” (in the Ukraine), the city-hero of Sevastopol and the Crimea.
Vladimir Putin at the end of their participation in the opening ceremony of warships for the Navy of the Russian Federation on the Kerch shipbuilding plant “Gulf” could theoretically get from the Russian hero-city to the dacha of Khrushchev in a matter of minutes.
Dmitry Kuleba today categorically ruled out the possibility of a personal meeting between Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky near the Peninsula.
the Meeting of the two presidents is possible only during the ceremony of lifting the Russian flag in connection with the resumption of full sovereignty over the temporarily occupied the Crimea, categorically spoke to Dmitri Ivanovich. – About readiness of Russia to conduct such a ceremony for me, unfortunately, is unknown. Moreover, President Putin has arrived in Crimea with a completely different purpose: to participate in the laying of new warships to black sea fleet of the Russian Federation. By these actions the President of Russia showed the intention of further strengthening its military presence in Crimea and violation of obligations of Russia as a country-occupier.
the Minister Kuleba completely rejected the possibility in the near future such meetings. The diplomat confessed that he was astonished at the unanimity of Ukrainian diplomatic correspondents regarding the “fictional” yesterday’s events.
