"We need functional government in place in Ukraine," Sobotka stated at the Brookings Institution. "What we need in Ukraine is a stable government that will be a viable partner towards Russia when talking about the application implementation of Minsk agreements."
The Czech prime minister added that Kiev needs a functional government to be able to execute reforms in the country.
Sobotka continued that current political situation in Ukraine is very unstable as the government undergoes many personnel changes amid tensions in parliament.
In February 2015, Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine worked out a ceasefire deal in Minsk later signed by Kiev and the Donbas militia. Despite the fact that the agreement was reached a year ago, both sides have been repeatedly reporting violations of the deal.
