Ukraine summit pledges ceasefire, withdrawal of forces

"The sides commit to a full and comprehensive implementation of the ceasefire, strengthened by the implementation of all necessary ceasefire support measures, before the end of the year 2019," said the final communiqué after the first meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders.

Host President Emmanuel Macron said a new summit would be held in four months to take stock of progress on ending the conflict. However, his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky said he regretted that more had not been achieved at the summit. Mr Zelensky did confirm that a new exchange of prisoners would take place between Ukraine and pro-Moscow separatists by the end of the year.

Vive la France!je admire tellement beaucoup Monsieur de la President Macron! ALLEZ!❤️
