Provocations in Donbas are carried out by forces not interested in the continuation of the Normandy format - NSDC Secretary

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov emphasized that armed provocations on the collision line in Donbas were carried out by forces not interested  in the continuation of the Normandy format.

“Not everyone wants and understands that we need the Normandy format to stop the war in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. I cannot say that everyone is interested in this. And those forces, which are not interested, constantly organize certain provocations, as happened today,” Oleksiy Danilov noted during a briefing at the Office of the President of Ukraine.

The Secretary of the NSDC informed that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Vadym Prystayko would participate in the meeting of the UN Security Council discussing the situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

"We will work out our agenda there," Oleksiy Danilov said.
