Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has called on his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko to help arrange a meeting of a trilateral contact group in Minsk on July 31 to settle the situation in the east of Ukraine.
“Petro Poroshenko has announced his appeal to President of Belarus
Alexander Lukashenko for assistance in arranging a meeting in Minsk on
July 31 of the trilateral contact group on the settlement of the
situation in Donbas, including second president of [independent] Ukraine
Leonid Kuchma, Russian Ambassador Mikhail Zurabov and an OSCE
representative,” the presidential press service reported on Tuesday
evening.
The Ukrainian side suggests that two issues be added on the contact
group’s agenda, namely the release of all hostages held by militants and
ensuring access of international experts to the crash site of Malaysia
Airlines flight MH17, Poroshenko said.
