Ukraine appeals to UN to send peacekeepers

“I am urging the Security Council to send down its peacekeepers to Ukraine to ensure the implementation of the Minsk agreements,” Klimkin said.

A strong international effort is needed to ensure the de-escalation in Donbas, he said.

A UN peace-keeping mission or enlarged OSCE contingent will help ensure to implement such provisions of the Minsk agreements as the disarmament of illegal military formations, withdrawal of the Russian troops and weapons, free elections and humanitarian assistance, Klimkin said.
