Kiev favored the return of Russian observers to Donbass

This was announced on Facebook by Daria Olifer, spokeswoman for the representative of Kiev in the contact group Leonid Kuchma.

According to her, in the past two weeks, Kiev allegedly recorded an increase in the number of ceasefire violations by members of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics.

“Therefore, in the framework of the TAG meeting, the Ukrainian side raised the issue of the return of the Russian side to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Parties,” Olifer wrote.

She added that this bilateral Ukrainian-Russian mechanism is "advisable to renew."

Earlier, advisers to the leaders of the "Norman Four" met in Berlin.
