DPR head Denis Pushilin says, Ukraine’s non-aggression pact proposal to Belarus is meant to buy time

Denis Pushilin, acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) said on Tuesday that, non-aggression pact offered by Ukraine to Belarus merely looks like a peaceful initiative. But, as a matter of fact, it is meant to buy time, like the Minsk agreements.

Pushilin wrote, “Naturally, Kiev is seeking to present its initiative to sign a non-aggression pact with Belarus as a peaceful idea. But we have the example of the Minsk accords. After revelations from renowned politicians – [France’s former President Francois] Hollande @fhollande and [German former Chancellor Angela] Merkel, the entire world was able to see that these agreements were signed not to implement them but to buy time and flood Ukraine with weapons”.

“Lying is the name of Ukraine’s current quasi-state ‘strategy.’ This should be borne in mind when it comes to its criminal authorities and those who are behind them”, reads Pushilin’s message.

Pushilin added, “The Ukrainian regime is so accustomed to passing off the immorality and two-facedness of its policy as heroism and humanism for domestic audiences that it thinks that such hypocrisy will do in international relations as well”.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday that, Ukraine proposed to Belarus to sign a non-aggression pact. But, Ukraine continued to train militants posing potential threat to national security of Belarus.

Earlier, Angela Merkel, Germany’s former Chancellor described the conclusion of the Minsk agreements in 2014 as ploy to buy time for Ukraine to build up military strength. Francois Hollande, France’s former President also echoed similar point of view.
