France not confident that peacekeepers needed in Donbas - Hollande
French President Francois Hollande said he is not confident that peacekeepers need to be sent to Donbas.
"France has taken part in military peacekeeping operations, but we are currently not confident that it is necessary," the French president told a press conference he gave jointly with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Paris on Wednesday.
Hollande recalled that decisions to send peacekeepers are made by the UN Security Council.
"Today the OSCE observer mission is present in the east to ensure the implementation of the Minsk agreements," the French president said.
Hollande also said he will discuss the fulfillment of the Minsk agreements with Russian President Vladimir Putin during events devoted to the 100th anniversary of the genocide of Armenians.
