Щайнмайер: "Страните от конфликта да направят отстъпки за да се спазва споразумението от Минск."

All parties engaging in the ‘Normandy Format’ talks, specifically the Ukrainian and Russian Foreign Ministers, are committed to the Minsk agreement and will “make up for what has been neglected in the past” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after the latest round of peace talks in Paris, Tuesday. Foreign Ministers from Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine met once again, as ceasefire violations in Ukraine kept increasing, which according to Steinmeier no one at the conference denied. However, the German Foreign Minister said, the parties did not spend too much time discussing who to hold responsible for the violations, but instead looked for a solution on “how to defuse the overall situation.” This latest round of Normandy talks is taking place just one day after the European Union extended economic sanctions against Russia for another six months. Simultaneously representatives from Russia, Ukraine and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) are gathering in Minsk for a meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group.
