There is a real chance to settle the Ukrainian conflict now, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov believes.
"Today there is indeed a chance for a peaceful settlement based on the Minsk agreements," he told the participants of the World Coordination Board of Russian Compatriots.
According to him, the provisions fixed in the February 12 package of measures should be implemented fully and consistently.
"The key condition is to establish a direct dialogue of the Ukrainian authorities with Donetsk and Luhansk," RIA Novosti cited Lavrov as saying.
