Klimkin: Alternative to 'Minsk' is further destabilization, 'freezing' of Donbas conflict by Russia

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said that an alternative to the Minsk Agreements could be destabilizing of Ukraine by Russia and 'freezing' the conflict in Donbas.

"We all know that the Minsk Agreements are commitments, including political commitments on the part of Russia ... We must make Russia to fulfill at least basic fundamental steps. An alternative to 'Minsk' is 'freezing' and further destabilization of Ukraine by Russia," he said on the Inter TV channel on Sunday night.

Klimkin also said that a system of international sanctions against the Russian Federation is based on the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the Minsk Agreements by the country.
