Peskov said it’s not the Kremlin that should be asked for such an opportunity, but the “self-proclaimed republics.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said the parties to the conflict, which Russia has repeatedly denied being, need a mutual will to amend the Minsk agreements.
In a response to the relevant statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said Minsk Agreements should be upgraded, Peskov said it’s not the Kremlin that should be offered such an option but the “self-proclaimed republics.”
“The Minsk package of measures is signed by representatives of self-proclaimed republics. Accordingly, it is possible to talk about any amendments without knowing the opinion and position of representatives of the self-proclaimed republics, but this would be unpromising,” Peskov said, according to RIA Novosti.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it is necessary to amend the Minsk peace agreements on Donbas, as local elections in Russia-occupied districts in Donetsk and Luhansk regions cannot be held before Ukraine regains control over its eastern border with Russia.

Yes it would Peskov, if we recall the terrorists that signed this agreement. Igor Plotnitsky disappeared of the face of the earth, and whatever happened to Alexander Zakharchenko?
Why is Putin part of the Normandy format if he has nothing to say? The Mouse King is playing foul again as usual…
Is Zelensky really considering elections without control of the border?
I doubt that he would cross that ” red line ” He must be aware of the political cost of that decision.
My opinion is that it is in Putin’s interests to keep the conflict going and this is his method of achieving that .
Absolutely. We have been the model in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. And years before that in Transnistria. The bluster and bluff model seems to work for them.
Yeah , western appeasement and inaction works for them as well.
