He did not say who is participating in the negotiating groups.

"It is not about who is negotiating - generals or politicians - the key issue is peace,” he said.

Unfortunately, they are not observed by the insurgents. Therefore, the negotiating group is elaborating mechanisms for the Minsk arrangements to be complied with. I hope this will happen in the near future.”
