The conflicting sides in Ukraine have agreed on the terms of pulling weapons back from the disengagement line in the east of the country.

A source familiar with the Contact Group on the Ukraine crisis told news agency Interfax that details of the agreement are being discussed right now. According to the source, the conflicting sides will sign a document detailing the withdrawal at a meeting scheduled for July 7.

Leonid Kuchma, the second president of Ukraine, is to sign the agreement for the Ukrainian side, while special envoys will sign on behalf of the self-proclaimed separatists republics. The heads of the republics are not expected to participate in the signing.

In February 2015, an agreement on withdrawal of heavy weapons from the disengagement line in the east of Ukraine was reached at a meeting between Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France in Minsk, Belarus.

After the peace agreement came into effect, the conflicting sides of the conflict blamed each other for violating its terms on various occasions. The OSCE, representatives of which are overseeing the conflict, have also noted violations.
