The agreement on a cease-fire in Ukraine is still very far from ensuring the smooth progress of the peace process.
After meeting with European leaders in Brussels, the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko expressed frankly any suspicion that inspires Russia.
"If it is about trust, I will say that European leaders have all my confidence and that we have a problem of trust with Russia" M Poroshenko said.
For his part, Putin is careful not to appear too close to the separatists in eastern Ukraine. Despite the presence of Russian troops and weapons in Ukraine, Russian President claims not to know the situation on the ground.
"We agreed Poroshenko President and myself," he explained. "We'll ask our military experts, and for my part, I am ready to do so, to indicate what exactly is the situation on the ground."
Field precisely artillery fire from rebel positions have not stopped.
The agreement signed Thursday in Minsk provides for a cease-fire from zero hour Sunday and the withdrawal of belligerents and heavy weapons to create a buffer zone of 70 kilometers deep. The issue of control of the border with Russia, where weapons pass, remains unanswered.
