No Minsk meeting expected for at least another month - Zakharchenko
MOSCOW.Oct 9 (Interfax) - The leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) are not expecting the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine to hold another meeting in Minsk for at least a month, DPR premier Alexander Zakharchenko told Interfax.
"There is no clarity over a Contact Group meeting, but we are not going there for at least one month," he said.
Commenting on the situation around prisoner exchanges, Zakharchenko said that these will resume once Ukraine has accepted the militia's requirements regarding the identification papers on persons being swapped.
"We have set a number of demands for the Ukrainian side. In particular, it must provide their documents and identification papers because people are often released to us without papers, whereas their identification cards and passports are retained by the Ukrainian side," he said.
