President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Vladimir Putin "has worked pretty hard in Minsk to convince the militias to sign the document".
The leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, in his words, "actively voiced their demands, and we had to listen to them."
As Peskov noted, the Russian side was "a supporter of fire being ceased immediately."
But in the 'package of measures for the implementation of the Minsk agreements' the time of the end of hostilities is the night from Saturday to Sunday, February 15.
