You're reading: Kozhara: Involving foreign arbitrators to settle crisis in Ukraine is extreme measure

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara has said that the principal way to resolve the political situation in the country should be negotiations between all sides of the conflict, whereas the involvement of foreign mediators would be an extreme measure.

“I think that this is an extreme measure, which would show the inability
of the government and the opposition to hold constructive talks. And if
this happens, then we can certainly use the services of some very
influential intermediaries,” the foreign minister said in an exclusive
interview with Interfax-Ukraine on Thursday.
