Germany and the United States
support the Minsk peace agreements on Donbas, which are designed to settle the
crisis in the east of Ukraine, and call on the sides to implement them as soon
as possible, according to Deutsche Welle.
"We will jointly take steps for this. Both as in
talks with the Ukrainian side and mostly with Russia," German Chancellor
Angela Merkel said at a joint press conference with U.S. President Barack Obama
in Hannover, Germany, on Sunday.
At the same time, Merkel says that the truce in the
east of Ukraine is not steady. "Until now we haven't got the stable ceasefire, and we should more actively proceed in the political
process," she said.
She announced she had discussed further steps with
Obama in detail to achieve a full ceasefire in Donbas.
Obama in turn said that the issue of rolling back
anti-Russian sanctions would be discussed only when Moscow fully implemented
all the provisions of the Minsk accords.
He also called on the newly formed
Ukrainian government led by Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman to continue
political, economic and energy reforms in the country.
