For his part, a French official said that the so-called tripartite contact group - Russia, Ukraine and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe - will hold talks to work to restore the ceasefire in the regions of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russian-backed separatists. This comes after mounting reports of ceasefire violations, with allegations being exchanged between the separatists and Kiev.
