Kyiv insists on ceasefire in Donbas by September 1
Ukraine calls for ceasefire in the Donbas conflict by September 1, Ukraine's representative in the Trilateral Contact Group humanitarian subgroup Iryna Gerashchenko said in Minsk on Friday.
"We insist on absolute ceasefire. It is especially relevant prior to September 1. Today the Ukrainian side in all four subgroups is advancing the initiative that all parties are simply obliged to cease fire on the eve of September 1, because not only do troops suffer, but also civilians," the Belarusian State News Agency BelTA cited her as saying.
There are 126 educational establishments on the frontline only in the Luhansk region, Gerashchenko said. Children were unable to attend school in certain regions due to hostilities last year. "Certainly, it is necessary to think of children's security. We call for the ceasefire regime to be consistently in force and any violations not to occur," she said.
