According to him, Ukrainians living on both sides of the conflict today only want one thing: the cessation of hostilities and the restoration of peace in the eastern territories. Most people are confident that the war can end if both sides agree to sit down at the negotiating table.

The eastern region of Ukraine has stopped in the "desert region", daily more than 40 thousand people cross the line of demarcation to get to the territories controlled by Kiev and buy food, take pensions or meet relatives. Many people believe that the business interests of individual people hinder the speedy settlement of the conflict.

"We also know that when decision-makers sit down and negotiate, then all negative events cease, and these are facts," Hug concludes..

As reported in the "Ur-Inform", Germany will take an active part in the peacekeeping mission to the Donbass.
