BERLIN, September 03. /ITAR-TASS/. The world community, including Germany, is ready to contribute to a ceasefire in Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Wednesday.

“The Presidents, [Petro] Poroshenko and [Vladimir]Putin, are bearing big responsibility these days for their peoples, for their countries and for Europe as a whole,” he said.

At present, real steps are indispensable to establish a truce in Ukraine, Steinmeier said.

“We’re ready to support this way by repeating the Geneva format or other international formats,” he said.
