No disengagement of forces in Donbass today due to shelling by militants - Prystaiko

The withdrawal of troops in Petrovske and Zolote did not start today due to recent shelling by the militants. This was stated by head of the Ukrainian MFA Vadym Prystaiko, - RBC-Ukraine reports.

Prystaiko noted that the withdrawal of troops begins on the seventh day after there was no shelling at a particular site, but militants fired at Petrovske and Zolote several days ago.

"The disengagement should begin today. This was agreed in Minsk. Unfortunately, both Petrovske and Zolote were fired at a few days ago. Our decision was that the withdrawal starts on day 7 after no shelling occurs at a particular site. That is why we now have to wait until the next 7 days will happen, which should prove that the parties are ready for further steps, such as disengagement", - Prystaiko stated.
