MOSCOW: Russia's foreign ministry on Monday said that a "durable ceasefire" was needed in eastern Ukraine to end fighting between government forces and rebels before peace negotiations could start.
"At the moment, a durable ceasefire is needed as an irreversible condition for starting practical steps towards a binding dialogue between the authorities in Kiev and representatives of protesters in southeast Ukraine," the ministry said following a phone conversation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
