Maas added that the conflict in the southeast of the country threatens peace in the entire region.
Mikko Kinnunen, the special representative of the head of the OSCE in Ukraine and in the contact group for resolving the situation in Donbass, previously announced an increase in the number of shelling by a third.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that the pumping of weapons into Ukraine is fueling Kiev's mood to sabotage the Minsk agreements and a military solution to the conflict in Donbass.
