MP and well-known Ukrainian analyst Dmitry Vydrin is sure that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has brought the situation in Transdnestr (PMR) into a dead end, acting unprofessionally. According to the MP, who is Yulia Timoshenko??s adviser, the head of the Foreign Ministry should be personally held accountable for this.

? - When parties reached a deadlock, and there is no way out of conflict situation, those ones should be found who are able to find the way out, whom the parties could trust to solve the question. Unfortunately, Ukraine stopped to be a conflict mediator, lost its credit of trust, because it unconditionally took the Moldavian side, the Yulia Timoshenko adviser believes.

Answering question of a REGNUM correspondent on way out of the arisen situation from his point of view, the MP stated: ?The new Ukrainian government should investigate activities of Tarasyuk (Boris Tarasyuk is Ukrainian Foreign Minister REGNUM). Most likely, new temporarily custom rules should be introduced for goods transportation, which might return everything to the status quo; after that negotiations should begin. It would allow President Yushchenko saving his face. At the same time, it should be recognized that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry was guided neither by interests of Transdnestr citizens, nor by Ukrainian ones; and it forgot about other participants of the talks at all, following tastes of European bureaucrats (Eurocrats). The latter are of no concern to problems of a common man from Bendery. Eurocrats do not know anything about bad roads, how Transdnestr citizens have to survive, having problems to get their daily bread. They are quite okay at nice and light offices, provided with food and drinks. Atmosphere of formal approach reigns in the EU: there is a solution, which is to be fulfilled; and that is all. And our Tarasyuk led the Foreign Ministry in the same formal way, choosing heartless and formal approach, instead of policy of interest defense of common people. He preferred to be promoted by EU institutions and he transformed the Ukrainian FM into the same heartless machine, which as read-roller smashed common people, their hopes for a better future. It is a sad picture of Ukrainian Foreign Minister, who takes care of Brussels opinion, at once reports about ?˜successes??, completely ignoring interests of plain people, of Ukrainians, of country and nation.

Answering question of the REGNUM correspondent, whether attempts were made earlier to find way out of the Transdnestr conflict situation, the MP stated: ?In 1992, I worked at Administration of Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk and met head of Transdnestr Smirnov. He asked me to hand over a letter to Kravchuk, where he suggested Kiev to start procedure of Transdnestr joining Ukraine, using parliamentary mechanism. The Transdnestr parliament was at that time, and it is still now one of most civilized parliaments: all debates and documents are there in three languages ?? Russian, Ukrainian, and Moldavian. Smirnov??s idea did not seem to me to be so unrealizable: political lava was still hot 1992, borders might be changed. Of course, there were some illusions that Transdnestr might be returned into past, but if Kravchuk had supported the idea and parliaments, following him, had begun to find joining procedure, we did not have such headache now. From my point of view, Kravchuk was so frightened of the letter; it has been quietly lying till now somewhere. The Ukrainian president did not respond to Smirnov??s initiative. Perhaps it is time to return to it? No. The hot lava has already become into clinker. And there are no hammerers to destroy it. There was such a chance 1992, MP Dmitry Vydrin admitted with regret.
