MOSCOW, December 11. /TASS/. Moscow assesses positively silence regime dynamics in conflict-torn Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine despite provocations and incidents from both sides, spokesman of Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Lukashevich said on Thursday.
“Currently top issues for ensuring ‘a silence regime’ are to provide a stable ceasefire and to put an end to the use of weapons in Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, pullback of heavy military hardware, provision of the disengagement line and a pullback of conflicting parties under the Minsk memorandum signed on September 19,” the diplomat noted, adding that “We assess positively ‘silence’ dynamics being kept in Donetsk and Luhansk regions despite incidents and provocations from both sides,” he noted.
