FM Kuleba: Russia's observance of ceasefire will allow moving to other agreements of Paris summit

Ukraine is adhering to the terms of the ceasefire in Donbas. If Russia does the same, it will be possible to proceed to the implementation of other agreements reached by the Normandy format leaders at the Paris summit in December.

"Now everything is in the hands of the Russian side. Ukraine has taken, and is taking, all measures to comply with the agreements reached. If Russia also adheres to what was agreed, the ceasefire will be permanent and this will allow us to move on to other points, on which the leaders agreed at the summit in Paris," Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said at a briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to him, the progress in the implementation of the "Paris agreements" will allow us to organize a meeting of the Normandy format leaders in Berlin in order to "take a new step towards peaceful settlement."

As reported, the full and comprehensive ceasefire regime was established in Donbas on July 27.

However, the occupiers violated the regime by firing a grenade launcher near the village of Shumy on July 28 and near Novoluhanske village on July 29. The shots were unaimed and provocative.

On July 30, the armed formations of the Russian Federation violated the ceasefire twice.
