Ukraine will propose a resolution to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on deploying a peacekeeping mission to Donbas after agreeing on a position with its international partners, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.

"As for the Russian resolution, nothing has started, except for very formal consultations, one round, so that there would be a response. We will not take the bait. First comes an agreed upon position with the so-called G7, the EU, China…. Only then will we move forward with a resolution," Klimkin said during the ICTV Channel's "Freedom of Speech" program aired on Monday evening.

"Ours will be an agreed-upon position, not just our resolution," Klimkin said, adding "We will introduce it when we have an agreed-upon position with our friends and all the main players. Russia will not be able to start playing its game, like it always does, to create conditions to weaken the mandate of the mission," he said.

Klimkin emphasized that the mandate of UN peacekeepers cannot be watered down. He added that the first resolution to be taken up by the UNSC would be a technical one and would not envisage the mandate of the entire peacekeeping mission.

"After that resolution or in parallel with it … there will be a mission that the UN General Secretary will send to assess the cost and means required [for a peacekeeping mission]," he said, adding that Ukraine first proposed a UN peacekeeping mission at the start of 2015.

Klimkin said Russia has tried to introduce is own conditions for deploying a UN peacekeeping mission which are unacceptable for Ukraine.
