The Trilateral Contact Group on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, which comprises representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, was set up in 2014 in a bid to promote direct dialogue between Ukraine’s conflicting parties.
The formation of the subgroups on political, economic, humanitarian and security issues was stipulated by the Minsk peace agreements, brokered in February by the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany.
