"Our position is fixed in the resolution, which has been lying on the table of the UN Security Council for a couple of months, while its consideration is being sabotaged first of all by Ukraine, which does not want to ensure the safety of the OSCE observers performing functions of monitoring the compliance with Minsk agreements, it wants to have the occupation forces enter – to cut all contacts of Donbas with the outside world and then establish their own order there, completely ignoring the Minsk agreements," Lavrov said at a joint press conference in Moscow with the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry Vladimir Makei.

One of them is a textbook example – it is the consent of the conflicting parties to the national composition of contingents that are included in the peacekeeping operation," Lavrov said.

According to him, there must be an agreement between Ukraine and militants "controlling" Donetsk and Luhansk. "We are ready for this draft resolution to be discussed as quickly as possible, but with full understanding that its final wording should be acceptable to the proclaimed 'republics.' Probably, in this connection it is necessary to conduct direct negotiations with them," Lavrov said.
