On Thursday, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak took part in a meeting of political advisers to the leaders of the "Normandy Four", which took place in the format of a video conference.

At the beginning of the meeting, Andriy Yermak proposed to adopt a joint statement at the level of the "Normandy Four" on returning to the regime of complete ceasefire in Donbas, which was established on July 27, 2020.

"Ukraine is more interested than anyone in returning to the regime of silence, because Ukrainian military and civilians die on Ukrainian land because of its violation," he stressed.

The Head of the Office of the President also suggested convening a meeting of the security group of the Trilateral Contact Group on March 19 to get concrete confirmation of the parties' readiness to ensure a ceasefire in Donbas.

Andriy Yermak thanked the representatives of France and Germany for their constructive position and readiness to assist in ensuring compliance with the ceasefire.
