Germany about Minsk: “We would like more”

The German Foreign Minister said that the agreement between the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France on the Ukrainian crisis does not fully reflect the wishes of Berlin, but is an extremely necessary deviation from violence and steps towards a new political impulse.

“The most important thing is that Moscow and Kiev agreed to a cease-fire. We strengthened the Minsk agreements reached in September last year, ”the statement of Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.

“Some of this will not be enough. We would also like more, but this is what the presidents of Ukraine and Russia could agree on, ”he added.

Negotiations were extremely difficult., the minister said, noting that both sides negotiated in good faith and in the coming days will refrain from actions that threaten the ceasefire agreement, writes Voice of America.
