De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump zegt zeker te weten dat zijn Oekraïense ambtgenoot Volodimir Zelenski een einde kan maken aan de oorlog in Oost-Oekraïne. ''Hij gaat een akkoord sluiten met president Poetin. Een verstandige vent. Hij wil vrede sluiten'', antwoordde Trump gisteren op een vraag van verslaggever Michailo Komadkovski van Voice of America. Hij voegde er aan toe dat het ''binnenkort'' tot een ontmoeting komt tussen Zelenski en Trump.

EU working out guidance for non-recognition of Russian passports issued

The European Union is developing for all member states a set of common
guidance for the identification and possible non-recognition of Russian
passports issued to Ukrainian citizens living in Donbas.
The EU Delegation to Ukraine in a statement handed over to UNIAN recalls
that on April 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree
simplifying the procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship, and
subsequently, issuance of passports, by residents of the non-Government
controlled areas of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
"The European Council conclusions of 20 June 2019 expressed the utmost
concern about the adoption of the decree, which was considered to run
against the spirit and objectives of the Minsk agreements. The European
Council also concluded that it stood ready to consider further options,
including the non-recognition of these Russian passports," the statement
reads.

naturalization of Donbas residents
"In this light, the Commission services together with the EEAS, and in
close coordination with the EU Delegations in Moscow and Kyiv, are
working on common guidance to Member States and their consulates for the
identification and possible non-recognition of these passports (which
is Member States’ competence) as well as on how to handle visa
applications lodged in the Russian Federation and in Ukraine by Donbas
residents who acquired the passports as a consequence of this decree,"
the diplomats stress.
Meanwhile, the EU Delegation notes, the signature by President Putin on
July 17 of the executive order amending the Decree adopted on 1 May,
thus extending the simplified issuing of passports for Ukrainians who
lived in April 2014 in any part of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions
and currently residing in the Russian Federation, is "yet another
attempt by Russia to destabilise Ukraine".
As UNIAN reported earlier, U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine
Negotiations Kurt Volker has condemned the issuance of Russian passports
to Ukrainian citizens in Donbas. "Russia needs to fulfill its Minsk
obligations. Expediting Russian passports for Ukrainian citizens flies
in the face in the spirit of the Minsk agreements and puts at risk
efforts to bring peace to the citizens of Ukraine," he wrote on Twitter
on July 18, 2019.
