Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, Oleksandr Danyliuk, says the NSDC’s meeting on Donbas is now being prepared.
“The National Security and Defense Council meeting on Donbas is being prepared. The first NSDC meeting on energy, we had a solution. It is necessary to work very carefully to reach a comprehensive decision. We also need to look into who will implement this decision and how it will be implemented,” Danyliuk noted.
When asked whether the decisions that are being prepared on Donbas concern a certain issues (humanitarian, economic), the NSDC secretary noted that this was a set of measures.
“Because any idea we have voiced will work alone. In any case, it will require a set of measures, as well as an understanding of what we expect from the other side,” Danyliuk emphasized.
To clarify whether it is, for example, about lifting the economic blockade, the NSDC secretary said: “I have been asked this question about the blockade before. I believe such a step alone will not bring anything. This is not a blockade, let’s call a spade a spade. These are restrictive trade measures that were introduced in response to the nationalization of our enterprises in an uncontrolled territory.”
The enterprises in occupied Donbas had ceased paying taxes to the state budget, therefore there were reasons and there was the relevant decision of the National Security and Defense Council, BBC-Ukraine informs.
Regarding the president’s “roadmap” for settlement the conflict in Donbas, Danilyuk said it exists.
“Everything related to Donbas has been worked out. There is Zelensky’s humanitarian plan, which in principle is being implemented,” the NSDC secretary noted.
