Statement of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko My international negotiations in Brussels and Minsk demonstrated a powerful request for peaceful political-diplomatic settlement of the conflict in the Donbas. The same mood dominated during my meetings with global leaders at the NATO Summit in Wales. The entire world strives for peace, the entire Ukraine strives for peace, including millions of Donbas residents. The highest value is human life. We must do everything possible and impossible to terminate bloodshed and put an end to peoples suffering. Taking into account the call for ceasefire of President of Russia Vladimir Putin addressed to the heads of illegal armed groups of the Donbas and the signature of the protocol at the meeting of Trilateral contact group on the implementation of the Peace plan of the President of Ukraine, I order the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to cease fire starting from 18:00, September 5. I also instruct the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to ensure jointly with the OSCE an efficient international control over the compliance with the ceasefire regime which must be exclusively bilateral. I hope that these agreements, including ceasefire and liberation of hostages, will be strictly observed. president.gov.ua/en/news/31174.html
