6 сентября 2017

First of all participants of the contact group will analyze the situation with the implementation of the Treaty on the so-called school truce.

The agenda includes issues of security, separation of forces and assets of opposing sides and the preparation of prisoner exchange. It is also possible that the sides will touch upon the issue of introducing UN peacekeepers to Donbass to ensure the safety of the OSCE mission's staff. This idea was supported by Russia. President Vladimir Putin instructed the Foreign Minister to propose the relevant resolution to the UN Security Council.
