According to the Interior Minister, President Hollande, while addressing PACE on Tuesday, voiced demands, absolutely unacceptable for Ukraine. "He demanded elections in Donbas first and only after that -  withdrawal of Russian occupation troops from the Ukrainian land and the return of control over the Ukrainian-Russian border to Ukraine. He wants elections to be held immediately after the ceasefire is implemented and troops are withdrawn," Avakov wrote in Facebook.

The minister recalled that in spite of the already existing "ceasefire" in Donbas, militant attacks continue, killing Ukrainian soldiers.

"As a representative of the great France, you undertook on behalf of the democratic Europe the mission to stop the aggressor, who attacked Ukraine - so do it, rather than betray Ukraine by paying off Putin with the division of our country!” Avakov wrote, addressing his message to Hollande. “Do not bargain at this vulgar fair Europe's largest nation, which took to the Maidan for the ideals of the European universal values, giving the life of its best sons and daughters for them," the interior minister wrote.

By giving away Ukraine to Putin, you will lose Europe, you will lose your own freedom. So don’t be delusional. Create a real anti-Putin Democratic Front of free men rather than go on appeasing the aggressor," wrote Arsen Avakov.
