Worsening situation in Donbas to be discussed in Minsk on November 17

“Unfortunately, in recent weeks we have seen the deterioration of ceasefire observance.  These alarming signals significantly worsen the safe situation in the east. There are facts of firing upon not only civilians, but also the facts of firing upon checkpoints. This will be the key theme in Minsk during [the meeting] of Trilateral Contact Group and four working subgroups,” she said. According to Heraschenko, the recent reports by OSCE mission are alarming as well. The mission still has not recorded a complete withdrawal of weapons by militants.
