This was announced at the final press conference by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to him, after the Normandy summit in Paris, a ceasefire and an exchange of prisoners were achieved. But so far nothing has been unlocked in the social and economic spheres, as well as in the framework of a political settlement.

We will even increase our support for Donbass. This will be it refers to the maintenance of production, solving social and infrastructure problems. We will move in this direction, “Putin added.
We will remember, earlier in the Kremlin, he said that Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel want to intensify the work of the advisers of the Normandy Four on a peaceful settlement in the Donbass.
