ROME (Sputnik) — The Ukrainian government must carry out the reforms stipulated in the Minsk agreements, Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said Wednesday.
“Kiev must continue launching reforms envisaged in the [Minsk] agreements,” Gentiloni told the Italian Corriere della Sera newspaper in an interview.
On Monday, the leaders of Germany, France and Ukraine agreed at a Berlin meeting to continue implementation of the Minsk agreements.
In February, Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine worked out a deal toward Ukraine reconciliation during talks in Minsk. The agreement was later signed by Kiev and eastern Ukraine militia.
The Minsk deal stipulated a ceasefire and constitutional reforms to provide increased autonomy for the Luhansk and Donetsk regions in Ukraine among other measures.
Both sides to Ukraine conflict have since repeatedly accused each other of violating the accords.
