KIEV (Sputnik) – A video linkup of the trilateral Contact Group on Ukrainian reconciliation will take place on April 14, a spokesperson for the Ukraine's negotiator said Saturday.

LPR negotiator Vladislav Deinego said the linkup will take place at 3 p.m. Moscow time (12:00 GMT).

The trilateral Contact Group comprises representatives from Kiev, Moscow and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The group holds regular talks with representatives of self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics to facilitate a diplomatic solution to the conflict in southeastern Ukraine.

In mid-February, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany agreed on the steps to settle the Ukrainian conflict that include the pullout of heavy artillery from the line of contact, the all-for-all prisoner exchange, as well as the ceasefire, among other measures.
