KIEV (Sputnik) — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on Sunday that he would call for an armed Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) police mission to be stationed in the country's war-torn southeast.
"A permanent presence of a special OSCE monitoring mission, both on the contact line, in arms storage locations and along the uncontrolled segment of the Russian-Ukrainian border, would guarantee a ceasefire. OSCE missions posts must be placed there, and they must be armed," Poroshenko told several national television channels.
The issue will be raised at the upcoming Normandy format talks on Ukrainian reconciliation between the foreign ministers of Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine, Poroshenko added.
