Kazakhstan Deputy Foreign Minister Yerzhan Ashikbayev said on Monday that Kazakhstan has no doubts about the importance of the Minsk platform for the solution of the Ukrainian crisis and is ready to support the implementation of the agreements reached in that country.
On Friday, the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, said that during his meeting with US President Donald Trump, the latter proposed to change the venue for the Donbas peace talks from Minsk to some other location, as the negotiations were stalled.
Yerzhan Ashikbayev, in a press conference, said that, "Kazakhstan always supports the so-called Minsk agreements on the solution of the situation around Ukraine without questioning the importance of the Minsk platform as, as is known, the head of the state was one of its creators ... Furthermore, the Deputy Minister emphasizes, the willingness to support the implementation of the Minsk agreements has always been stressed and questions relating to the issue were raised, during the talks in Washington, exclusively to implement the importance of agreements with no alternative to the peaceful settlement of this agreement.
