Ceasefire in Donbas discussed at meeting of advisers to Normandy format leaders

“On Thursday, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak took part in a meeting of political advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format countries via a video conference,” the President's press service informs.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yermak proposed to adopt a joint statement at the Normandy Four level to return to the regime of the full and comprehensive ceasefire in Donbas, which was established on July 27, 2020.

"Ukraine is interested in returning to the ceasefire regime like no one else because the ceasefire violations kill Ukrainian military and civilians on Ukrainian land," he said.

The Head of the Office of the President also proposed to convene a meeting of the Security Working Group of the Trilateral Contact Group on March 19 to receive concrete confirmation of the readiness of the parties to ensure a ceasefire in Donbas.

Yermak thanked the representatives of France and Germany for their constructive position and willingness to assist in ensuring compliance with the ceasefire.

As reported, head of the Ukrainian delegation to TCG Leonid Kravchuk said that political advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format were working to organize a meeting of leaders of France, Germany, Ukraine and Russia in April.
