Ukrainian negotiators in the Trilateral Contact Group on Donbas have underlined that in Kyiv's view, the key condition for further progress in solving political, social and humanitarian issues in eastern Ukraine is full implementation of the security package, according to Darka Olifer, spokesperson for Leonid Kuchma who represents Ukraine in the Group.
“Security is the key issue for the Ukrainian side. Donbas continues to see shellings with the use of artillery pieces prohibited by the Minsk Agreements. Fire is also conducted on locations designated for mine-clearance,” Olifer wrote in her Facebook page following the Trilateral Contact Group meeting in Minsk on June 29.
“Implementation of the security package in full is the key and principal condition for further progress in the solution of political, social and humanitarian issues. It was mentioned by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in his speech at the Verkhovna Rada ceremonial meeting held yesterday on the occasion of Constitution Day,” Olifer said.
