00:25have to be complied fully and are unequivocally and there needs to be

00:31direct dialogue between the parties we welcomed so the disengagement and three

00:39pilot areas this is an important step on the path to further de-escalation in the

00:46southeast of Ukraine and making sure there's a full ceasefire we hope that

00:55disengagement will continue and there will be de-mining and de-fortification
