U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry said on Thursday that North America will achieve compliance with the Minsk agreements from September 2014, suggesting a cease-fire between security forces and militias in the South-East of Ukraine.

" We wish to Minsk agreement was observed. We wish to violence ended, " said Kerry.

He also repeated the statement about the support of Russia militias that Moscow denies." We wish to direct support of the separatist tanks, heavy weapons, projectiles, so it stopped, and everyone would be better off if We find a way to de-escalate and implementation of the Minsk agreements, " said Kerry.
