“We support the earliest possible approval by the parties of the“ grain truce ”at the upcoming meeting of the contact group on July 17,” RIA Novosti quotes Lukashevich.
According to him, “as the practice of previous truces shows, with the beginning of their operation, the number of shelling and casualties decreased markedly.”
Earlier, the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, said that one settlement in the south of the region is “on the verge of complete destruction.”
