The OSCE mission has proposed to increase

The foreign Ministers of Russia and Germany held talks on Ukraine.

The German foreign Minister, Sigmar Gabriel, has held talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.

According to Lavrov, in Ukraine, they agreed on the main parties to the conflict in the Donbass should stop ceasefire violations, to resume execution of the Minsk agreements.

“Like Berlin, we support strengthening the role of the OSCE, increasing the number of staff for monitoring”, – said Lavrov.

The Russian Minister stressed that “the current blockade of Donbass is unacceptable”.

“We urge the Ukrainian leadership to use all its capabilities to the blockade to stop,” – said Lavrov.

Lavrov also blamed the failure of the Minsk agreements on Kiev.

The head of the German foreign Ministry noted that it is impossible to place the responsibility only on one side.

“Russia should declare that support the Minsk dialogue, it is necessary that the United States has expressed its commitment to the Minsk dialogue and that we, too, have expressed their commitment; it takes responsibility not shifted to any one of the parties”, – said the Minister.

Gabriel expressed regret that “different studies do not follow even the minimum standards and agreement – the cease-fire, withdrawal of heavy weapons, humanitarian aid, access of the red cross, the exchange of prisoners”.

“This is a minimum prerequisite that the political process was successful,” – said the German Minister.
