Volker en Soerkov spraken elkaar viermaal sinds augustus 2017. De laatste keer probeerde de Amerikaanse diplomaat zonder succes om het Russische standpunt over een vredeskorps voor Oost-Oekraïne bij te stellen. Hij deed een voorstel, maar daar kwam geen enkele reactie op. Toch kondigde de Russische minister van Sergej Lavrov van Buitenlandse Zaken vorige week dinsdag aan dat er ''binnenkort'' toch een nieuw gesprek plaats heeft tussen Volker en Soerkov. Het mag duidelijk zijn dat VN-ambassadeur Jeltsjenko daar weinig vertrouwen meer in heeft.

Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nation Volodymyr
Yelchenko says negotiations on Donbas between U.S. Special
Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker and Russian
presidential aide Vladislav Surkov are "on the verge of collapse."

"There is no unity and progress there. And the progress also depends on
the Surkov-Volker track, which seems to be on the verge of collapse.
They have not met since January. No decisions have been made... If six
or seven meetings have been held without result – something needs to be
changed. I'm not able to peer into Surkov's soul, but until real action
is taken we cannot do much about it," Yelchenko said at a press
conference in Kyiv, the news outlet Hromadske reports.
According to him, it will take at least six months after a UN decision
to deploy a peacekeeping mission to occupied Donbas. Surkov and Volker
held four meetings: in Minsk on August 21, 2017, in Belgrade on October 7
and November 13, in Dubai on January 26, 2018. The negotiators discuss
ways to implement the Minsk agreements and the possible introduction of a
peacekeeping mission to Donbas. According to Ukrainian Foreign Minister
Pavlo Klimkin, no result was achieved at the last meeting.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on
August 21 announced that a new meeting between Volker and Surkov would
take place "in the foreseeable future."
