Leaders of France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine agreed to call on Ukraine’s separatist militants to extend the duration of a pull-back on their weapons in eastern Ukraine.
Commenting at the end of over 2 hours of telephone talks, French President Francois Hollande’s office said that the leaders of the four countries “want the agreements signed as soon as possible.”
Ukraine and pro separatist militants agreed earlier this week that tanks and smaller weapons systems should be withdrawn in addition to heavy artillery withdrawal which was previously agreed.
