Ukraine, intl partners discussing roadmap for implementation of Minsk Agreements - Poroshenko

KYIV. July 7 (Interfax) - Ukraine is in talks with international partners over a "roadmap" for implementation of the agreements that were reached in Minsk in February 2015, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.

"The question of a timeframe is precisely what we are seeking, the timeframe and the roadmap, what must be done and when, in what sequence, and guarantees of its implementation," the president said at a joint briefing with United States Secretary of State John Kerry.

There is no alternative to the Minsk Agreements, and their conditions must be met, Poroshenko said.

"I think we have [achieved] palpable progress in the discussion with our U.S., German and French partners over the roadmap and the order of steps to be made," Poroshenko added.
