Head of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) on Donbas Leonid Kravchuk says Russia turns out to be not in the best position right now to put forward any ultimatums to Ukraine on Donbas.
In an interview with TSN.ua, he said Ukraine had proposed an action plan for Donbas that is opening up opportunities for holding a summit of the Normandy Four leaders.

According to Kravchuk, countries should prevent escalation in Ukraine.
"Look, the U.S. President-Elect, Joe Biden, in his talks with European leaders twice named Ukraine among the world's hot spots – and this is something I've never seen happening, at least during my time in office. I think this is a good sign. Europe, the U.S., and the whole civilized world see it is not as just a small dot on the map in this case. It's a flame in the center of Europe, which can become a disaster at any moment. This mustn't be allowed," the official added.
