"As for Vitold Pavlovych [Foin], he is an acclaimed person in Donbas, and therefore, as far as I can tell you, as far as I know, he is offered the following position: coordinator of talks, or communication, of all parties," Kravchuk said.

The delegation chief added that in Donbas "not everyone is a militant: there's civil society, there are people who think differently, who see the situation differently."

"We need to find them, communicate, and negotiate," said Kravchuk.
