Poroshenko Plans Talks After Offer of Truce in E. Ukraine - Bloomberg

Poroshenko Plans Talks After Offer of Truce in E. Ukraine - Bloomberg:



"Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will meet government officials from the country’s conflict-wracked regions as he tries to build support for his proposed unilateral cease-fire in a bid to end three months of clashes.



The meetings today in the capital, Kiev, will only include “legitimate” politicians, mayors and entrepreneurs from the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, according to a statement on the presidential website. Pro-Russian separatists indicated they’d reject a cease-fire that Poroshenko wants to call within days.



“The peace plan will begin with my decree on a unilateral cease-fire,” Poroshenko said yesterday on his website. “The cease-fire will be quite short. We expect that there will be an immediate surrender of weapons, peace and order.”"
