Telephone conversation with Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko

February 19, 2015

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Federal Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, President of France Francois Hollande and President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.

It was noted that the beginning of the implementation of the package of measures adopted by the Contact Group in Minsk made it possible to reduce the intensity of military action in Donbass and lead to a reduction in civilian casualties.

The four leaders focussed on the need to maintain a stable ceasefire and take practical steps to ensure that the conflicting sides withdraw their heavy armaments and release prisoners as soon as possible. They stressed their readiness to actively support the  OSCE monitoring mission at the current important stage of the settlement.

The four presidents agreed on contacts between their foreign ministers to ensure the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
