The Kremlin spokesman told reporters that Russia's position on peacekeepers in Donbass was based purely on the Minsk agreements.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia's position on Donbass, including the deployment of peacekeepers there, is flexible, but is based on the inviolability of the Minsk agreements, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.

"The issue of UN peacekeepers: peacekeepers, who once would ensure the security of the OSCE mission, it is the continuation of those discussions that are conducted in search of compromises," Peskov said.

"The Russian side has repeatedly demonstrated its consistent position, flexible, but based on the inviolability of the Minsk agreements," he told reporters when asked to comment on the details of the conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
