Ukraine keen on swift Normandy-format approval of roadmap for Minsk accords

A swift approval by the Normandy Four nations (France, Germany, Russia, Ukraine) of a roadmap aimed at fulfilling the Minsk agreements will facilitate their implementation, according to Oleksandr Motsyk, Ukraine's representative in the political subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine.

"The roadmap is under consideration in the Normandy format, the delegations are working very hard and we are interested in this roadmap being prepared as quickly as possible, since it will be a kind of an implementation document for the Minsk agreements," Motsyk told Interfax-Ukraine on Thursday.

The agreements do not spell out all issues clearly and so a roadmap is necessary to outline a specific timeframe and how to implement provisions of the Minsk deal, the diplomat said.
