Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a 'full and comprehensive implementation' of a cease-fire before the end of 2019.
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a "full and comprehensive implementation" of a cease-fire before the end of 2019, after peace talks in Paris on Monday.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin , and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attend a Normandy Four summit in the Murat Lounge in the Elysee Palace; talks in the so-called Normandy Four format involve representatives of Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia who discuss settlement of the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The conflict is one of the worst seen in modern Europe yet it is also largely seen as a "forgotten" war, having rumbled on for more than five years. In that time over 13,000 people have died, according to the United Nations, and hostilities have affected 3.9 million civilians living in the region. Relations between Russia and Ukraine collapsed in early 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea from the country and then supported a pro-Russian uprising in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine in which separatists proclaimed two pro-Russian republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia is subject to international sanctions for its actions, and the lifting of some of those restrictions are tied to its implementation of a peace deal with its neighbor.
