He did this during a conversation with his Russian colleague Sergey Lavrov. Koenders welcomes the Minsk agreement between Ukraine, Russia Germany and France, but is still worried about the situation in eastern Ukraine. "The agreements are only partially fulfilled." He also emphasized the importance of humanitarian access and supplies and the implementation of the political elements of the agreement.
