He stated this during the online conference "Minsk Process: Gradual Success or Political Deadlock".

Reznikov noted that the final decision is made by President Vladimir Zelensky.

"Today I am the first deputy head of the delegation, so formally I will lead these processes for some time", - he said.

According to him, officially former President Leonid Kuchma still remains the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG until President Volodymyr Zelensky makes a change in the composition of the delegation by a separate order.

"President Zelensky will determine who this person is, and I hope we will find out about it soon. And we will definitely work in a team together in the interests of Ukraine", - the minister concluded.
