MOSCOW, September 9 (RIA Novosti) – Moscow expects that negotiations will begin soon on the status of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday.
“In regard to the issue of the country’s southeast, then the protocol signed in Minsk envisages steps in that direction. We hope that these negotiations will begin quickly. Their format is obvious: the Ukrainian authorities and the leaders of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, or the so-called signatories of the Minsk Protocol of September 5. And we call on them to fulfill this protocol,” Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Malian Foreign Minister Teiman Coulibaly.
