" I made a special emphasis on short special report of the monitoring mission of the OSCE on consensus. I have to be honest, the official confirmation of such agreements as long as it is up. But I Wish to say is that if it really was, but apparently the story is about the main agreements between the military in the framework of the so-called mechanism of monitoring and verification between Ukraine, Donetsk, and Lugansk with the assistance of the Russian Federation, this is a very important step from the position of the de-escalation of the conflict and a real step towards the fulfillment of the Minsk agreements, " he said.
