There will be no concessions on the issue of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and no direct dialogue with the temporarily occupied areas – these are some of the “red lines” drawn by Ukraine.
This was stated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, who spoke at an online briefing on Monday, February 7, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
One of these “red lines” that I can comment on publicly: no concessions on the issue of Ukraine’s territorial integrity, which means: Donbas and Crimea are Ukraine. Second, no direct dialogue with the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics,” the head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted.
As reported earlier, certain media outlets claimed the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, a meeting of advisers to the Normandy Four leaders in Paris on January 26, allegedly undertook to consider “proposals” of so-called “representatives” of the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions toward conflict settlement.

My red line is crossed when loudmouth fake patriots try to look tough at the expense of the people. In the event of a full war all options are on the table to save Ukraine from ceasing to exist as a state and save lives, if necessary.
I’ve said all along there is nothing to negotiate. That should be made clear to the Moscow monkeys, perhaps with sign language and guttural grunts they understand, “You invaded, you go home.” Nothing to negotiate.
