Victoria Talakina, press secretary of the DPR permanent representative at the negotiations in Minsk Denis Pushilin, announced this today.
“The meeting of the Contact Group has come to an end. The next meeting is scheduled for March XNUMX,” she wrote on her social network page.
Earlier, Talakina reported that the main issues on the agenda of the negotiations were the exchange of prisoners, reducing escalation on the contact line, the need to withdraw heavy weapons from the contact line and the implementation of political points.
The DPR plenipotentiary drew the attention of the Contact Group participants to the situation around the Donetsk filtration station. According to Pushilin, the deployment of Ukrainian troops and dugouts in the immediate vicinity of the station creates additional security threats, both to the station’s employees and to the aggravation of the situation in this sector of the front as a whole. In this regard, the DPR insists “on using all possible mechanisms to achieve de-escalation of the situation on the contact line in Donbass.”
