According to the Russian president, in order to achieve an effective ceasefire in Donbas, Ukraine needs to decentralize its regions and pass the Law on the Special Status of Donbas, as well as grant amnesty to militants.

The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov said that militants in Donbas intensified their shelling of Ukrainian positions as prohibited by the Minsk Agreements.
