“It remains to be hoped that at least from January 1 of the coming year, the Ukrainian side will finally begin to fulfill its obligations to comply with the full and comprehensive ceasefire, as well as additional measures to control it,” the Central Control Center reports to the Donetsk news agency.

Earlier, Russia's envoy in the contact group to resolve the situation in eastern Ukraine, Boris Gryzlov, said that the parties to the conflict in Donbass supported the extension of the ceasefire.
