The deadline for the two sides meeting all the conditions of the peace agreement between the Ukrainian government and Kremlin-backed separatists in the country’s easternmost regions may be extended, a Russian official said.
The leaders of Russia, Germany, Ukraine and France may agree on an extension if the terms aren’t met by the end of the year, Yuri Ushakov, a foreign-policy aide to President Vladimir Putin, told reporters in Moscow on Friday. The four nations’ foreign ministers will meet in Berlin Saturday and their leaders plan to convene next month.
