Spokesperson of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov claimed that Russia will not withdraw from the Minsk process due to the murder of the Head of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Alexander Zakharchenko as Interfax-Ukraine reported.

“After the happened terrorist act (the murder of Zakharchenko) it is very difficult to talk about something with the Ukrainian side. But I repeat one more time, it does not mean that Russia withdraws from the Minsk Talks,” Peskov said.
