ULAN BATOR (Sputnik) — The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) is currently underway in the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator.
"Speaking straightforwardly, the situation in Ukraine might instigate misunderstanding and deep conflict in Europe. And apparently, the situation in Ukraine cannot be resolved through coercive means. Especially, posting sanctions and rejecting dialogue and engagement will not be the means to solve the issue," Elbegdorj told reporters on the sidelines of the OSCE PA.
In April 2014, Kiev launched a military operation against independence supporters in the southeastern Ukrainian Donbass region who stood up against a new coup-imposed government.
Only peaceful actions such as ceasefire observance and "resolute enforcement" of the Minsk agreements will help resolve the ongoing confrontation, the president said.
In February, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany crafted a ceasefire deal in Minsk, Belarus, signed by representatives of the Kiev government and Donbass militias. In recent weeks, the ceasefire has appeared to be effective.
Mongolia governs using a peaceful international policy based on negotiation and diplomacy, Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj said.
"Mongolia firmly upholds the policy of solving any international disputes by peaceful means, not interfering into internal affairs and without application of force," Elbegdorj told reporters at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) which is currently underway in the capital of Mongolia, Ulan Bator.
He added that in the past 25 years the country recorded notable success in strengthening human rights and freedoms, rule of law and democracy.
