KIEV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 25th September, 2018) Kiev's representative in the subgroup on security in Donbas, Yevgeny Marchuk, said Tuesday the Ukrainian and Russian authorities are close to a compromise on the deployment of the UN peacekeeping mission to the conflict zone in Ukraine's southeast.

"Ukraine has set a condition who can't take part in the peacekeeping contingent [in Donbas]. But a compromise was preliminarily found there. Russia [speaks] for the absence of NATO, and we for the absence of CSTO countries. A compromise was more or less found there in principle. However, it is still preliminary," Marchuk told reporters.
