He drew attention to the fact that the recent mass exchange of hostages and agreement on new year’s-the Christmas truce (which the militants are still not fully adhere to) give some encouraging signals.
“We need to continue. So today I am flying to Kiev and tomorrow in Mariupol to show people in Ukraine: we will never leave you in the lurch. For us, this conflict is neither frozen nor forgotten. On the contrary – it is very relevant and fire. We will do everything in order to find a solution to the crisis that finally brought peace to the region,” assured Gabrielle.
