Kiev has falsified a communiqué of the Normandy summit on the Zelensk’s official website
On December 11th, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin accused Kiev of falsifying the text of the communique of the “Normandy summit.” in his opinion, the Ukrainian authorities “have reached the extreme degree of lies.” A distorted version appeared on the website of the Ukrainian President, and one of the key elements of the agreement was changed — the need to take into account all aspects of the special status of Donbass was reduced to the “law on special status” only.
Kiev published an incorrect text of the communique “Normandy summit,” held in Paris on December 9, said the head of the self-proclaimed DNR Denis Pushilin.
On the website of the President of Ukraine posted a distorted version of the document, the politician writes, representatives of the “Normandy four” agreed to discuss all legal aspects of the special status of Donbass, but Kiev in the falsified Ukrainian language version sounded in a way that gave an impression that the issues were narrowed down to only the Law on Special Status.
“The authorities of Kiev have reached an extreme degree of lies,” — said Pushilin, and posted on his official website the screenshot of the offensive statement. The legal aspects should include a set of laws and agreements including Amnesty and local elections, and also an introduction of appropriate amendments to the Constitution.
“Until the correct text agreed by the Normany Four leaders appears on all versions of the official website of the Ukrainian President, we will not implement the decisions of the summit,” Pushilin announced.
It should be noted that Kiev hastily corrected the Ukrainian version of the communique. Currently, the agreed text of the communique is posted on all versions of the website – Ukrainian, Russian and English.
The distortion of the final communique by Kiev was noticed not only in DNR, but also in Ukraine. The Opposition platform For Life party accused the Kiev authorities in falsifying the translation of the text of the final document.
“The office of the President falsified in the translation of the communique, following the meeting in Paris, the most important aspect of the agreements reached by the heads of states,” the press service of the party said.
The opinion in Russia was that Kiev tried to pretend that it was only a question of extending for a year of the Law on a Special Status of the Donbas republics. According to Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov, without the inclusion of a special status of Donbass in the Constitution of Ukraine, it can be canceled at any time.

Paris "Normandie" summit - Common agreed conclusions 9 décembre 2019 - Déclaration Télécharger Paris "Normandie" summit - Common agreed conclusions - PDF 148 Ko The President of the French Republic, the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, the President of the Russian Federation and the President of Ukraine met in Paris today. The Minsk agreements (Minsk Protocol of 5 September 2014, Minsk Memorandum of 19 September 2014 and the Minsk Package of Measures of 12 February 2015) continue to be the basis of the work of the Normandy format whose member states are committed to their full implementation. They underline their shared aspiration to a sustainable and comprehensive architecture of trust and security in Europe, based on the OSCE principles, for which the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine is one of several important steps. On this basis, they decide on the following: 1. Immediate measures to stabilize the situation in the conflict area The sides commit to a full and comprehensive implementation of the ceasefire, strengthened by the implementation of all necessary ceasefire support measures, before the end of the year 2019. They will support the development and implementation of an updated demining plan, on the basis of the decision of the Trilateral Contact Group on demining activities, dated March 3, 2016. They will support an agreement within the Trilateral Contact Group on three additional disengagement areas, with the aim of disengaging forces and equipment by the end of March 2020. They encourage the Trilateral Contact Group to facilitate the release and exchange of conflict-related detainees by the end of the year, based on the principle of “all for all”, starting with “all identified for all identified”, with the understanding that international organisations including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) be granted full and unconditional access to all detained persons. They will support an agreement within the Trilateral Contact Group, within 30 days, on new crossing points along the line of contact, based primarily on humanitarian criteria. They recall that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) should be able to use all possibilities of the 21 March 2014 mandate, and have safe and secure access throughout Ukraine in order to fully implement its mandate. 2. Measures to implement the political provisions of the Minsk agreements The sides express interest in agreeing within the Normandy format (N4) and the Trilateral Contact Group on all the legal aspects of the Special Order of Local Self-Government - special status - of Certain Areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk Regions - as outlined in the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements from 2015 - in order to ensure its functioning on a permanent basis. They consider it necessary to incorporate the “Steinmeier formula” into the Ukrainian legislation, in accordance with the version agreed upon within the N4 and the Trilateral Contact Group. 3. Follow up They ask their Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Political Advisors to ensure the implementation of the agreements reached and they agree to have another meeting in this format within four months on the political and security conditions, inter alia for the organization of the local elections.

2. Measures to implement the political provisions of the Minsk agreements
The sides express interest in agreeing within the Normandy format (N4) and the Trilateral Contact Group on all the legal aspects of the the Law of the Special Order of Local Self-Government – special status – of Certain Areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk Regions – as outlined in the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements from 2015 – in order to ensure its functioning on a permanent basis.
After the Communique translation was corrected, Dmitry Peskov said that “The form in which the Ukrainian side publishes the final document of the “Normandy summit” communique is not important. There is a reference text in English.”
The Kremlin revealed Kiev’s attempt to change the communique of the Paris summit
On December 15th, the Press Secretary of the President Putin Dmitry Peskov in his interview to the Channel 1 program “the Big Game” said that at the beginning of Normandy Four format negotiations of the leaders of Russia, France and Germany, Kiev attempted to edit the document that was drafted and agreed upon in advance.
“It was very hard work for six to seven hours. I think this should be told, nothing terrible would happen. The fact is that Paris was preceded by a fairly strenuous work of presidential aides who worked on the text in order for this text of the Paris agreements to be adopted. The Ukrainian side began the meeting with the demands to edit some points of these agreements, that is, to edit what has already been agreed by aides, including the representative of Ukraine, ” Peskov said.
On Monday, December 16, the Verkhovna Rada published a bill on decentralization of power, which was submitted to the Parliament by Zelenski. In the text of the document published on the official website the special status of Donbass, directed by the Minsk Accord, was absent.
According to the explanatory note, the bill proposes to change the administrative and territorial structure of the country and the introduction of the post of a Prefect, to represent the Kiev authorities in the districts and regions, as well as in Kiev. These people will actually replace the existing governors, but their term of office will not exceed three years.
The document does not mention anything about the special status of Donbass. At the same time, it introduces a separate legal status for Kiev.
Kiev is in a straightjacket. Minsk 2.
They are trying hard to lie their way out of the constraints.
Hasn’t worked for five years. Won’t ever work.
They have one option. Send their military into battle again and try to win the war.
Beyond that suicidal action, they can kneel down and beg Russia to forgive them and work out the partition of Ukraine which would then make Minsk 2 moot, probably lift most of the debts off the remaining entity (Banderastan, Lviv region).
Then Russia, Poland and Hungary will take their pieces of Ukraine and this insanity can end.
Zelensky is an amateur. He probably won’t even get the next Normandy Four meeting in April.
Putin sized him up in Paris.
If the US somehow manages to stop Nord Stream 2, next year, then there is nothing holding back Russia from destroying the entire ATO military and cripple the Nazi Battalions, Azov and Pravy Sektor. They won’t do it directly, most likely.
There are many ways to induce the Ukies to attack first.
Putin is on record that he will act to prevent a Srebrenica in Donbass.
With Minsk 2 still in force, he will be acting in behalf of the UN.
15-20 years from now, there will be a leak on how the US used Ukraine as launch pad and foil to induce Russia into a war, and how no one in the US government really cared about the Ukrainian people. It was only about Russophobia and forcing Russia into a rash action that would lead to its ruin.
Of course, Russia with Putin at the helm will never make a rash action.
The Ukies are screwed. Hate blinded them and misjudgment cost them on the battlefield and in Minsk when Porky had to surrender via the Minsk 2 Accords. Germany and France had backed a loser and signed the Accords also. The EU, the US, Kiev, Germany and France all lost that day.
The interim has been costly to the innocents of Donbass and the brave military of Donbass DNR-LNR. But they won their territory while Kiev has lost not only Donbass and Crimea, they will be losing much more.
And that’s no lie.
It was about stealing gold
It was about Hunter Biden getting rich
It was about blocking a pipeline to Germany
Invasion of Ukraine was about many things
It is about Plan-C for the ANZ homeland in case Plan-A, or Plan-B fail
It was about HRC taking down as many country’s as she could during her term as Sec of State, “We came we saw, we Killed”; HRC was really trying to show her POTUS stuff in Ukraine.
It was about laundering US dollars in Ukraine, and then passing them back to Clinton Foundation
The problem right now is that the “Impeachment Circus” is putting light on the cockroaches.
Expect things to go back to abby-normaly, once the impeachment-circus tent is taken down.
@Selfish
As Auslander + Larchmonter445 have written many times here at Saker.
Maiden was about snatching Sevasterpol.
The corruption you itemise is found in most US held vassals.
The juiciest morsel was to be Sevastopol.
According to Victoria (“f*ck the EU”) Nuland, the U.S. spent $5 billion to foment the Ukrainian rebellion. I doubt Biden had that much pull.
shellfish, thumbs up to your comment, after the gold, the gold of Russia via Kiev the Ukraine, the spiritual wealth of a country, why else did this site rise up like a wave at the time, why else inspired, international volunteers, -even Google spellcheck no longer knows how to spell or recognize the name Dombass !!!
Option #2 is to do nothing and simply watch the gangrene of battle take over the theater.
As a Croat I used to think that our Croatian radical nationalists are the stupidest creatures in Galaxy Milky Way.
But after Maidan I really changed my mind. Ukrainian nationalists and Banderistes are much more stupid.
The way that they destroyed their country Ukraine is for anthology. Congratulations.
@Bosnian Croat
Look, there are idiots everywhere. I vividly remember the HUGE line waiting on Pushkin Square (the queue was going around the entire square) to enter McDonald’s in Russia in 1991. Nations fall and rise again just as we all do. I respect you for being a Bosnian Croat and posting what you posted. And yes, nationalists are usually the worst thing which can happen to any nation. God willing, you are now a rare “breed” but, God willing, there shall be more.
With time, people will realize that a real patriot is never a nationalist and a real nationalist is never a real patriot.
I wish you and your people well. May we all find a way to liberate ourselves from those who have lied to us and who are using us!
Kind regards

The orcs can whine all they want, Minsk 2 is engraved in stone. Period. President Putin played Mutti, Golland and the orcs like a 10 string violin at both Minsk conferences, 1 & 2, and Mutti signed the death warrant for the orcs at Minsk 2/Debasltsyevo to ‘save’ them from a second and even more catastrophic defeat than the summer cauldrons on the Russian borders of 2014 when Strelkov’s ‘missing’ younger volunteers cut their training in Russia short, stormed back home and slaughtered the orcs.
The orcs have already published their plan for Novorossiya when they ‘take control’ again. Everyone living there will be ‘filtered’, civilian and army, politicians will be prosecuted and ‘punished’, all armed forces will be put in ‘camps’, investigated and those guilty of ‘war crimes’, read opposed to the coup d’etat victors of 2014, will be either imprisoned or executed. Civilians will be invited to leave for Russia, abandoning everything they own. President Putin has publicly stated that it will be another Srebrenica massacre and he has publicly stated he will not allow that to happen.
I also agree with Larchmonter, in the end ‘Ukraine’, aka Malorus, will cease to exist, not that it ever existed anyway. Poland and Hungary are licking their chops in anticipation of regaining their ‘lost’ lands, as are a couple other ‘eu’ morons. Russia will end up having massive cooperative agreements with Novorossiya but I don’t think Novorossiya will ‘join’ Russia any time soon. So be it. In the end, ‘Ukraine’ will comprise of Kiev Oblast and perhaps other lands east, west and south of Kiev but it will be a rump state that will never have a viable means of supporting itself. Who knows what Odessa, Kherson and Kharkov will do, but methinks eventually those entities will see the light and enter in to ever more friendly agreements and relations with Russia. Over the years ‘eu’ will stop pouring money down that rat hole and Kiev Oblast will wither away to nothing.
As it stands now, the orcs have no capability of seriously attacking Novorossiya. They can, and do, shoot daily, actually hourly, but reality is while their shooting kills and wounds soldiers and civilians in Novorossiya every day, militarily these continuing attacks amount to nothing. From a humanitarian standpoint, each and every death on both sides is a tragedy, victims of a lost war that eu/us are continuing simply to gore Russia a little more before the inevitable stand down and virtual surrender of the orcs.

I think President Putin is wrong when he said it would be another Srebrenica,because i don’t believe there WAS a Srebrenica massacre,what it would be is another operation Storm like those Ustashi criminals carried out with US help,hundreds of thousands of Krijina Serbs cleansed and murdered,
I have a theory, I could be wrong. In the 19th century, there were many pogroms, race riots, against Jews, which was, besides poverty, a major factor in much of the present day Jewish population in the USA. All 4 of my grandparents were essentially refugees from the Russian empire, mostly arriving pre WWI.
In the 1930’s in the US, Ukrainian fascists were already at work as criminal gangs.
http://www.maebrussell.com/Sabotage/Sabotage%20ch%205.html
So my theory is that in Ukrainian culture there is an ongoing faction that thrives on extreme nationalism and hatred of anything not ethnic Ukrainian/Galician. It was there in the Nineteenth Century pogroms, there in the 1930’s gangster activity in New York, there in the OUN and Banderist faction throughout the 1930’s all the way to the end of WWII, and into the 1950’s when the Soviets wiped out the last guerillas.
But it has now reemerged in all its virulence. Lying in such a document is just par for the course. No agreement can ever be reached with them. Since their own ideology says non Ukrainians should either be killed, exiled or enslaved, they are what they are. It will be very difficult to eradicate this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization_of_Ukrainian_Nationalists
Don’t forget to mention that they have strong representation in Canada also, particularly in the western provinces. The U.S. wasn’t the only country to engage in Operation Paperclip. Ukrainian Banderist Nazi’s came to Canada. The Deputy P.M. is one of them, Christia Freeland. These bullies are now talking about severe penalties for online ‘hate speech’, which means disagreeing with any perversion they have endorsed.
It is probably a lot more complex.
OUN may be more of a nationalist organisation that sought to establish independence for Ukraine in the opportunity that had been arising from the creation of the (Bolshevik) Soviet Union Republic of Ukraine. As such it is a wider tool of the zionist creation of Bolshevik Soviet Union.
OUN did not seek to kill jews in particular, this happened as a result of the german occupation that created the opportunity for creating independence for the Ukraine Republic.
That is however a very difficult objective that more or less collide with natural laws since there is no such thing as a country called Ukraine.
Historically “Ukraine” has nothing to do with Soviet Rep of Ukraine, the name arise from a opportuniste nationalist hijacking of the Cosack autonomous hetmanate Sloboda Ukraina (the land carved out for ourselves ) that had been granted autonomy by Tsar Russia being an integral part of Tsar Russia.
Map of late 18th century Tsar Russia West was under occupation by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/007_Ukrainian_Cossack_Hetmanate_and_Russian_Empire_1751.jpg
The initial occupation of Tsar Russia (historic Kiev-Rus) was even more complex involving Roma (today Vatican, the catholic Church empire), working with the Golden Horde (Rome diplomatic mission), to occupy Rus and burn it to the ground for the empire of the Roman Empire’s Church. Rome also had close connection to Khazaria, the zionist (leadership’s) motherland. These are the main players in the geopolitical war today taking place over modern Ukraine.
Jews as a people became victims of a larger war throughout history. Zionism is a political movement of jewish leaders. These are totally opposite entities.
Going into details of all becomes very complex so I am not going into details. I do agree with your account of tsarist Russia persecution of jews. It was initiated by the acitivities of the zionist movement that became very evident in Europe where zionist leaders had gained control over the economies as we know today creating the national banks and controlling the policies.
They made the already monumental lie bigger and subjejt of their own hate by giving the expression that the problem arose from countries as Russia working on a document.
There is always only the final version of a treaty.
Ukraine have never lived by the standards of similar agreements they have signed, it is a fascist republic set up by USA for total corruption. Money sent in by IMF and other aid are laundered to circulate into corruption of the parties that become involved, and the main part to flow back into the banksters private pockets.
IMF (and World Bank) are run by the the private bankers, as is the Federal Reserve and ECB and other national banks are nationalized so they also form part of the governments so that US , EU and other country’s aid are handled by state operations and laundered via corrupt governments all over the world.
The russian population of Ukraine they try to either kill or drive out of the country, it was the plan since the beginning , see Tymoshenko’s leaked phonecall “nuke the russians”, a policy that came to effect swiftly.
Having a signed agreement or not, this sneaky move proves they cannot ever be trusted. It really is best that an international border is established now, separating the east from the west. Maybe Zelinsky can revive his old career as a comedian?
“The US Senate has voted for a $738 billion defence budget, which includes sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and military assistance to Ukraine, according to the results of the vote. The vote in the Republican-controlled Senate was 61-6 in favour of the National Defence Authorisation Act, or NDAA.”
Includes space force ….foreign wars…300m for Ukraine……
No surprise that the Ukrainians would falsify papers. They have neo-nazis in their foreign ministry. Some of them try and hide it. But then some are so stupid they are easy to catch. Like this slimy character Vasil Marushchinets,pretty much a “loud and proud nazi”. Dumb enough to post his nazism on his FB. He tried to hide it a little by only letting “friends” see the posts.But that was easy to get around.And he is exposed with posts like these:
” “an honor to be a fascist”, how “the Jews declared war” on Hitler-ruled Germany. He even shared images from his 60th birthday, which featured a celebration cake fashioned to feature the Nazi leader’s book ‘Mein Kampf” as the centerpiece.”
Once exposed the Foreign Ministry tried to fire him.What else could they do since he was outed. But he sued and the neo-nazi courts in Ukraine gave him his job back with a damage award.The Ukrainians couldn’t send him back to Germany as a diplomat,too awkward that would be. So they put him in a group “opposing threats from Russia” .He should fit in there given his posted hatred for ‘Moscals’.

I see the Kiev ‘government’ has attended the Pompeo CIA school of diplomacy.
