The Ukrainian government has called on Russia to fulfill the terms of the Geneva agreements of April 17.
“The government is appealing to the other party to the Geneva
agreements – the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian side is calling for
the fulfillment of the Russian part of the agreements. We are urging to
withdraw troops from Ukrainian territory and emphasizing the importance
of public disassociation from supporting terrorism and separatism. We
are appealing to Russia to urge its supporters who commit illegal
actions on Ukrainian territory to stop violence and release the hostages
and occupied buildings,” reads a statement released on the Web site of
the Cabinet of Ministers.
According to the statement, the Ukrainian government is ready to
listen to all legitimate political demands of Ukrainians in the east and
west of the country and to meet them halfway.
“And we are calling for the fulfillment of the Geneva agreements
reached by Ukraine, Russia, the United States and the European Union,”
reads the statement.
