“The meeting considered the OSCE initiative on the“ spring truce ”, which was supported by the Russian delegation and the delegations of the DPR and LPR. At the same time, the proposal to take additional measures on strengthening the cease-fire regime by the Kiev side was rejected, ”RIA Novosti quotes Gryzlov.

According to him, as a result, "the Kiev side cut all specifics, leaving only a call for a truce, and unreasonably postponed the decision on the date of commencement of the spring truce for an indefinite period."

Earlier, the press service of the Foreign Ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic reported that the OSCE representative at the meeting in Minsk to resolve the conflict in the Donbass proposed to introduce a "spring" truce.
