President Petro Poroshenko agreed with the leaders of the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, and Italy that Friday, March 5, would be a key day for choosing between the peace plan and "another option," which Poroshenko calls "decisive de-escalation."
The head of state stated this while speaking to the press in Newport (Wales, UK), where the NATO summit is taking place on September 4-5.
According to him, the subject of discussion was a draft decision to be adopted at the level of the "trilateral contact group" with the participation of representatives of illegal armed groups.
"A meeting of the trilateral contact group is scheduled for Friday at 2:00 PM, where a document is to be signed that outlines the phased implementation of the peace plan. The first element of this will be a ceasefire," Poroshenko stated.
"If the meeting is confirmed, if it takes place, I will instruct the General Staff to establish a bilateral ceasefire, and we hope that the implementation of the peace plan will begin tomorrow (September 5 – EuroPravda)," he promised.
The President emphasized that it had been agreed with the leaders of leading NATO countries that, if negotiations failed, another option could be launched, calling it "decisive action."
"If this doesn't happen, then the likelihood of us taking decisive action to de-escalate the conflict is very high. But we want peace," the president added.
The president did not provide other details of the plan, which could be adopted on Friday.
