Britain is ready to provide an extra 1 million pounds to support the expansion of the OSCE's monitoring mission in Ukraine to de-escalate crisis in the country.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron said this in a phone conversation
with U.S. President Barack Obama after the United States, the EU,
Ukraine and Russia came to a tentative agreement in Geneva.

Downing Street press added that the UK would help Ukraine to implement its guarantees.

“They agreed that the outcome of the Geneva meeting represented a
positive step forward, but that it was essential that the agreements
reached were rapidly implemented in order to reduce tensions and create
space for political dialogue in Ukraine,” the report said.

Besides, the parties agreed that the United States and European Union
should “do all they can to help implement these agreements, in
particular through providing additional support to the OSCE special
monitoring mission.”
