U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker has said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has a clear commitment to establishing peace in Donbas, while the Russian side is yet to do its part.
"Great meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky – clear commitment to peace in Donbas, but Russia needs to do its part. He pledged his strong commitment to reforming Ukraine which we fully support," he wrote on Twitter on July 2, 2019, following a meeting with Zelensky in Toronto.
