UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Friday welcomed a 14-point peace plan released earlier by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to deescalate tensions in the eastern regions of the country.

"The secretary-general welcomes President Poroshenko's expression of political will to peacefully resolve the crisis in Ukraine," Stephane Dujarric, Ban's spokesperson, told reporters here at the daily briefing.

"He takes note of the announcement of the president's 14-point peace plan, which reportedly provides for dialogue, a cessation of hostilities and other measures aimed at de-escalation," Dujarric said. "A plan with such measures would be encouraging."

The spokesman also noted the utmost importance of the implementation of such measures, as well as of those outlined in the April 17 Geneva agreement, in order to lead to a lasting and peaceful resolution.

Ukrainian President Poroshenko on Friday unveiled his 14-point plan aimed at peaceful resolution of the conflict in eastern regions, where government troops fight with armed activists.

The document, published on the presidential website, has offered unilateral ceasefire and an amnesty to rebels, who committed no "serious crimes," as a part of concessions to insurgents.

Among other things, the plan promised power decentralization in the country through constitutional reforms, early parliamentary elections and local elections in the crisis-hit regions. Endite
