The Vice President of the European Commission - High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, said this in her speech at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"As for a UN peacekeeping mission, the work in this direction continues. We are taking part in this process within the framework of the UN. The main thing is that this work should be aimed at the full implementation of the Minsk agreements," Mogherini said.
