"We are insisting on the observance of the entire package of the Minsk Agreements, including the reaching of the line as on September 19, 2014, including Debaltseve," Darka Olifer, the spokesperson of Ukraine's envoy in the Trilateral Contact Group, second Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, said on her Facebook page following the first meeting in Minsk this year.

The settlement of the range of security issues is a pivotal component of the entire Minsk process, Olifer said. "Without a complete and stable ceasefire, without withdrawal of all foreign military units and military hardware from Ukraine, without control over the border, there can be no elections in separate districts in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions," she said.
