Kelin recalled that among the conditions are guarantees of a special status for Donbass, an amnesty and the organization of local elections.
The head of the diplomatic mission added that the risk of military actions in the region will remain until the implementation of the Minsk agreements, and residents will expect a constant threat of Ukraine using forceful methods to resolve differences.

The representative of the Russian delegation noted that moving forward is achievable only with the unified position of all participants – Russia, Germany, Ukraine and France.
