US, France, Germany to Keep Anti-Russia Sanctions Until Minsk Deal Fulfilled
KIEV (Sputnik) — Earlier on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia offered to develop parallel roadmaps on ensuring security in eastern Ukraine. He added, that the political settlement of the issue could keep pace with ensuring the full silence regime, the stance Kiev disagrees with.

"To date, we do not have a single agreed roadmap, which could set out fundamentally important things, such as the sequence of what should be done….We need a clear, explicit roadmap, and this roadmap will be developed on the basis of our joint position in Normandy four format," Klimkin said at a briefing following a meeting with Polish Foreign Minister in Kiev.

In February 2015, a peace agreement was signed between Ukraine’s conflicting sides in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, after talks of the Normandy Four countries, comprising Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany.

The deal stipulates a full ceasefire, weapons withdrawal from the line of contact in eastern Ukraine, an all-for-all prisoner exchange and constitutional reforms, which would give a special status to the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics.
