Head of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) and first president of independent Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk has announced four possible options that could be used to achieve a full ceasefire in Donbas.
"We see this should be done through negotiations – first, through discussions – second, through compromises – third, and by making appropriate concessions – fourth," he told Obozrevatel TV channel.
Kravchuk stressed Ukraine is ready to make concessions if appropriate steps are taken from the "other side."

At the same time, he opposed any ultimatums.
"The Ukrainian side is ready to offer and demand that the signatures that have been put be respected both by us and by people subordinate to certain structures in those regions. So that we really start a truce seriously and for a long time, not in words, but in deeds," the official added.
