Deputies want to know about Ukraine's starting position in negotiations with Russia and the “red lines” of the peace agreement.
The European Solidarity political party issued a statement following the Ukrainian-Russian talks in Istanbul on March 29.
The political force supported the inadmissibility of concessions to the aggressor in matters of territorial integrity. And called to unite diplomatic and defense efforts in the struggle for peace in Ukraine.
In addition, the statement emphasizes the importance of uniting Ukrainians and Ukrainian political forces: “From February 24, we observe and will continue to observe the principle of internal political unity as a guarantee of victory.”
But in the next proposal the deputies demand to hold a closed sitting of the Verkhovna Rada and the heads of parliamentary factions to discuss Ukraine's negotiating positions.
“We demand to hold a closed sitting of the Verkhovna Rada as soon as possible and inform the people's deputies about Ukraine's starting position in these difficult negotiations. “We propose to discuss it in detail at a meeting of the president and the heads of parliamentary factions, with the exception of the OPZZ, after the parliamentary session,” the document reads.
The need to hold meetings in the political force is justified by the desire to get acquainted with the content of the hypothetical peace agreement.
“We must understand that our negotiators need room for maneuver. And that a detailed assessment of the hypothetical peace agreement can be given not on the basis of statements at a press conference, but only when its full and final content will be understood, a finalized document, “the statement concludes.
The political force also called for caution in Russians' statements about reducing military threats to Kyiv or Chernihiv. They do not correspond to reality and can be misleading.
