 Moscow, Jan. 13 – The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) is ready to participate in Minsk negotiations at the Trilateral Contact Group promoting peace in eastern Ukraine.

 “We are ready to attend the next round of these negotiations. The observation of truce and the lift of the Donbas siege should be amongst key issues,” DPR chief negotiator in Minsk Denys Pushylin told Interfax.

In his opinion, “negotiations, including the Minsk format, are the only way to resolve the conflict.”

“All sides should make an effort and observe the previous peace settlement accords but Ukraine has a special role as it has breached the truce,” he stated.
