DONETSK. Aug 16 (Interfax) - The leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk people's republic (DPR), Alexander Zakharchenko, has not ruled out that the Minsk agreements may have to be adjusted in the foreseeable future but suggested trying to implement the current versions.
"I want to point out that not once has there been an attempt at implementing the roadmap spelt out in the package of Measures of the Minsk agreements. Kyiv has never once followed the sequence of these steps but is already talking about changing the format. Let us try [to implement the agreements] for a start," Zakharchenko told journalists on Wednesday.
"The Minsk agreements are not set in stone, the situation is changing, everything is changing," he said.
"It is not ruled out that in the foreseeable future the Minsk format, its substantive part, will have to be adjusted, but let us for a start try and implement the document to which all parties have subscribed," Zakharchenko said.
