No documents on amnesty discussed or adopted at trilateral group meeting in Minsk

"Regarding the amnesty, I responsibly declare that no bills have been discussed, let alone adopted, on December 15, during a meeting of subgroups in Minsk, nor during previous discussions either at the political subgroup meeting (I know this from my colleagues Roman Bezsmertny and Volodymyr Horbulin), nor during the meeting of our humanitarian subgroup," she said on Facebook Wednesday morning. Herashchenko stressed that the Ukrainian side is studying the experience of amnesty in other countries, such as Croatia. According to the MP, the amnesty law cannot be passed by the Minsk group. It can only be adopted by the Ukrainian parliament, "that is where the bill will be discussed and debated." "At the same time Ukraine insists on the following: the clause of Minsk agreement on the release of hostages, 139 of whom are currently held by militants, should be fulfilled! They are being tortured, they are not allowed to see the Red Cross [medical] mission," Heraschenko added. She also said that the amnesty should be passed after the final cease-fire, not while the conflict continues.
