Ukraine's stance remains the same over the elections in certain districts of Donbas that could be held only when a complete ceasefire is achieved, foreign troops are withdrawn and when Ukraine gets a control over the border, press secretary of Ukrainian representative to the Minsk peace group Leonid Kuchma Darka Olifer reported.

"Regarding the political issues, Ukraine's stance remains the same: holding of the elections in certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions is possible just after a complete ceasefire is brought, foreign military units are withdrawn from the territory of Ukraine and Ukraine gets a control over Ukrainian-Russia border," she wrote on her page in Facebook following the results of the Minsk peace group's meeting on Wednesday.
