Agreements on ceasefire in south-eastern Ukraine look serious - Pushkov

MOSCOW. Sept 5 (Interfax) - This time the agreements for a ceasefire in south-eastern Ukraine, which were reached in Minsk, look more serious than the previous statements regarding this, Russian State Duma international affairs committee head Alexei Pushkov said live on the Rossiya 24 (Russia 24) TV channel.

"After everything, now the feeling is that these agreements look more serious than previous statements," he said.

This could be related to the fact that exhaustion from war has accumulated and the combat operations phase of the conflict has come to a logical end, Pushkov said.
