Baku - Russia expects the Ukrainian authorities to provide a full-scale rather than temporary ceasefire in southeastern regions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
“If this initiative aims at comprehensive ceasefire, in which the opposition, militia fighting the authorities, will be able to exhibit a good will and start negotiations, to which the authorities will invite representatives of the southeast, then I think it could be the step promised by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and which is actually expected by all of us,” he told a press conference in Baku.
That was the Russian foreign minister’s comment on the unilateral ceasefire initiative of Poroshenko.
