The UN has called for a redoubling of efforts to resolve the political crisis in eastern Ukraine, the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman said today at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
"We recognize the complexity of the various discussions aimed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict. However, the efforts to find a political solution should be doubled in short order," RIA Novosti cited him as saying.
The Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs stressed that to move forward, according to the Minsk arrangements, "all parties are to immediately cease hostilities," noting that the militias of Donbas "must reaffirm their commitment to respect the ceasefire."
