The Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff has said that Ukraine's position over the removal of heavy weaponry from the line of contact between the combatants in Donbas is invariable: this process will only begin after a total ceasefire.
“As soon as the first provision – full ceasefire – is met, we will immediately proceed to heavy weaponry removal. So far no one is talking about a specific timeframe,” a spokesman for the General Staff, Vladyslav Selezniov, told Interfax-Ukraine on Dec. 25.
