“Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements” together with the Normandy Four Declaration were signed on February 12, 2015.

On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the signing of the documents, the OSCE Special Representative in Ukraine, Martin Sajdik, said that despite unanimous re-commitments to the Minsk Agreements, a solution to the conflict has not yet come nearer:

“In the region, confrontations are still ongoing, causing suffering to the civilian population and losses of human lives although their number was considerably reduced in the course of last year. I am convinced that the only way to the peaceful resolution of the conflict in eastern Ukraine is the full and comprehensive implementation of the Minsk Agreements by all sides of the conflict. I once again call on them to display all targeted efforts in this direction”.
