BRUSSELS, September 3 (RIA Novosti) – The European Union takes good note of the agreement between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents to work jointly on a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, said Maja Kocijancic, a spokeswoman for the EU foreign policy chief.
“We take good note of the agreement between [Ukrainian] President [Petro] Poroshenko and [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin to work together towards a possible ceasefire within the next few days,” the spokeswoman told RIA Novosti Wednesday.
“The EU has called since the very start of the crisis for a viable and mutually agreed ceasefire,” she went on. “If respected by all it would constitute an important first step towards an urgently needed sustainable political solution based on respect for Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, unity and independence.”
The European Union will follow the situation “very closely,” she said.
