Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak hopes to unblock humanitarian issues at the next meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group for the Peaceful Settlement of the Situation in the East of Ukraine. He said this at a briefing in Berlin after a meeting of political advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format.

"We hope that the next meeting of the TCG will unblock humanitarian issues - the release of detainees, the opening of checkpoints, which have been prepared for more than a year by the Ukrainian side," said Andriy Yermak.

According to him, it is also very important that all participants of the meeting of advisers in the Normandy format expressed their full commitment to a comprehensive ceasefire in Donbas.

The Head of the President's Office thanked the German side for organizing these talks. He noted that the next meeting of political advisers to the leaders of the Normandy Four is to take place shortly.

"The Ukrainian party is ready for a constructive dialogue," Andriy Yermak stressed.
