PARIS – German Chancellor Angela Merkel has expressed concern about the tense situation in eastern Ukraine and frequent ceasefire violations, according to European media.
“Ukraine concerns us and in the ‘Normandy Format’ – which groups Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine – we try to get the Minsk (ceasefire) accords respected,” she said during her visit to Italy on Saturday.
According to Merkel, “every night there are violations of the ceasefire and every day there are human casualties.”
