Tillerson names condition for improving Russian-US relations

"As for the Minsk agreements, we believe that Russia can make progress in implementation by de-escalating violence and taking steps to withdraw separatist armed forces and heavy weapons so that OSCE observers can fulfill their role," he said. According to Tillerson, the situation in Ukraine will remain an obstacle to improvement in relations between the U.S. and Russia until full progress is made on the Minsk accords.
