In
the midst of the continued peace negotiations in Minsk, UT
correspondent Volodymyr Solohub discusses developments in the peace
talks with head of Ukraine delegation in security working group of Minsk
trilateral contact group on Ukraine, former prime-minister and defence
minister of Ukraine, Mr. Yevhen Marchuk.
"Last year approximately two months, we had such a period, where there was full ceasefire regime. You know, we have in our experience positive results. But unfortunately after that there were a lot of violations and everybody knows what happened later. Nowadays we're trying to withdraw military units from contact line, but I personally call it frontline, because in reality it's not a contact line. In reality it's frontline. To withdraw from contact line military units for one kilometers."
"We must reach an agreement about principles – how it would be done. Because it's a very sensitive process. The mistrust is very deep from both sides. And just to start withdraw. Before that both sides under OSCE monitoring must stop shooting. Full ceasefire regime must be established during 7 days. Not less. Only after that each side just provided to OSCE the coordinates of the place, where they will withdraw their units to that place."
