Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) envoy at the talks Denis Pushilin told RIA Novosti earlier that he and Deinego have submitted a draft protocol on Ukrainian crisis settlement to other parties at the talks, who promised to give an answer after discussing the proposals.

According to Pushilin, the document includes a wide range of political and military steps, as "reality has shown that military measures alone do not produce the desired results."

The Contact Group on Ukraine, comprising representatives from Kiev, the self-proclaimed people’s republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, Russia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), met in Minsk in September 2014, which resulted in a breakthrough ceasefire agreement between the warring sides.
