US Ambassador to UN: Elections in east Ukraine possible after security measures provided

The US Ambassador said this on Thursday at a meeting of the UN Security Council on the conflict in Ukraine, Ukrinform reports. According to her, one of conditions for the political settlement of the conflict in eastern Ukraine is the resuming of normal situation along the demarcation line, when the Special Monitoring Mission can normally fulfill its tasks. Samantha Power also stressed that the present climate in eastern Ukraine “in no way promotes these standards”.
