Russian Foreign Ministery: Minsk agreement extended for 2016

Grigory Karasin has said that the Minsk agreement on Ukraine will be extended for 2016.

"It is already clear that the Minsk agreement will be extended. Above all, because nobody is limited by  the time frame. It is important for us to achieve the necessary result, a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the south-eastern part of Ukraine,’’ RIA Novosti cites him as saying.

Karasin added that not only Kiev, but the entire world is interested in peace and stability in the east of Ukraine.
