The negotiations held by the contact group on Ukraine and its subgroups in Minsk on 7 July were constructive, we learned from OSCE special representative in the trilateral contact group on Ukraine Martin Sajdik.

“The matters you know — the Shirokino issue and the withdrawal of weapons under 100mm caliber — have been discussed. We hope that we will be able to make a decision on these matters next time,” said Martin Sajdik. He went on saying that the session of the subgroup on humanitarian affairs had also managed to secure some shifts.
