2014/09/26

MOSCOW, September 26 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday denied media reports that Russian and Ukrainian military officials were meeting in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Region to discuss a buffer zone separating the Kiev government forces and the militia.


“The Russian Foreign Ministry rejects a report by the Reuters agency about an alleged meeting of Russian and Ukrainian officials to mark out a ‘buffer zone’ between the DPR, LPR and the Ukrainian side,” the ministry said in a statement.


“All issues related to the ceasefire regime are being discussed by the Ukrainian side and representatives of separate districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions,” the ministry said. “The role of Russia, as a member of the Contact Group, is to render all necessary assistance to this process jointly with the OSCE.”
