New ceasefire, release of over 50 captives agreed on in Minsk

"Particular attention was paid to release of the Ukrainian citizens from captivity. At the initiative of the Ukrainian side, the negotiators came to a mutual agreement to release more than 50 people, primarily the wounded, the seriously ill and women, on both sides in the near future," she wrote. According to Olifer, Ukraine supported the initiative of Russia’s representative Boris Gryzlov on declaring the ceasefire, which should begin immediately, as full and unconditional ceasefire in Donbas is the most important condition for restoration of peace in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
