Lugansk People’s Republic envoy to Minsk negotiations Vladislav Deinego said US authorities use Ukraine as a bargaining chip to promote the idea that EU sanctions against Russia must stay in place.
Deinego said so in comments on the statement by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden that Kiev should deliver on its promise of economic and political reforms.
In late September, Biden said “We know that if they (Kiev) give an excuse to the EU, there are at least five countries right now that want to say ‘We want out'” of sanctions against Moscow.”
“He (Biden) said the following: “look at what we have now: five European countries do not see the need to prolong sanctions against Russia. They’re tired of these sanctions. The thing is that Ukraine is quite reasonably accused of non-compliance with the Minsk Agreements,” Deinego said.
“Ukraine should adhere to the Minsk Agreements only for the sake of not being accused of failing it. This non-compliance is a pretext for lifting sanctions. Consequently, the USA treats Ukraine as a bargaining chip, with anti-Russian sanctions being the key concern,” the LPR official said.
