About that, he told on an air of the "112 Ukraine TV channel".

Kravchuk informed, that the "Steinmeier formula" was not discussed at the TCG meeting on 3 of the August. However, according to him, neither the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, nor Ukrainian diplomats, nor officials have ever abandoned this formula.

Another thing - is how to understand it, how to implement it. These are the mechanisms for implementing the formula. Here's how to do it, you already have to think, discuss, suggest. And the formula itself must be accepted, because it is approved by signatures, including in the tripartite contact group", - asked politician.

He also informed, that the Ukrainian delegation in Minsk would discuss compromises, but not the question of independence or sovereignty of their territories.

"First, if someone supposes, that compromises can be applied to independence or to territorial integrity or sovereignty, he is deeply mistaken. These are the question that is out the red line. We will not discuss these issues", -  informed Kravchuk.

At the same time, according to the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG, all decisions must be mutual, "towards each other".
