Russia "to try to exercise influence in Donbass"

“We believe that Kiev needs to lift the economic blockade of the Donbass region, restore banking services, and carry out a constitutional reform with participation from the southeast of the country,” said Putin, who noted that all of these conditions were contained within the Minsk roadmap, signed by Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany, RT reported.

Putin "admitted that there were issues with compliance with the agreements on both sides,” but noted that systematic violence has decreased in the past three months, and said there was no alternative to the agreed peace plan, the Russian broadcaster said.

Merkel said that Putin “wields sufficient power over the separatists to at least ensure a ceasefire,” and called for “the territorial integrity of Ukraine to be restored,” mentioning not only eastern Ukraine, but Crimea, which became a part of Russia in March 2014.

The German leader is one of the leaders of the EU countries who did not want to attend the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow, but arrived a day later, met with Putin visited the Tomb of the Unknown Hero, to honor millions Soviet soldiers and civilians who died in World War II.
