Kyiv demands Contact Group on Ukraine videoconference

KYIV. Aug 29 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian side in the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine (TCG), which is tasked with settling the Donbas conflict, wants to hold a videoconference on August 31, after accusing opposing forces of violating the ceasefire.

"The TCG Skype meeting is necessary due to the breakaway parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions not observing the ceasefire, and also to urge their representatives to provide unhindered access by the OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation] mission to the whole of Donbas, including the Ukrainian-Russian border," Darka Olifer, a spokesperson for the TCG Ukrainian representative Leonid Kuchma, wrote on her Facebook page.
