The meeting is attended by the second President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, OSCE Special Representative Heidi Tagliavini, Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov, as well as the leaders of the proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic.
The day before, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that he was ready to order a ceasefire in the combat zone in Donbass if all participants in the confrontation agreed to a ceasefire.
Soon after this, the DPR and LPR also announced that they were ready to consider a ceasefire if the Ukrainian side agreed to certain conditions. In particular, the rebels demand the cessation of Ukrainian military aviation flights over the territories that are now controlled by the militias.
As PolitNavigator reported, the group can discuss, among other things, the peace plan proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
