A framework agreement on pulling the opposing forces away by one kilometer from each side of the separation line in Donbas is nearly ready, Yevhen Marchuk, Ukraine's representative in the security subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group for a peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbas, said on Ukrainian television.

"The agreement is virtually ready. It is called a framework agreement, which concerns precisely the withdrawal [of the forces] by one kilometer from the frontline by both sides, which makes a two-kilometer distance. We have agreed to resume the discussion to find a compromise on Tuesday. Perhaps this could be done via a video conference," Marchuk said on the 112.Ukraina TV Channel on Friday evening.
