MUNICH. Feb 3 (Interfax) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Ukrainian opposition leaders, at a meeting on Saturday, "reached an agreement on concrete further moves" to settle Ukraine's domestic conflict "and not just on expressions of solidarity with the Ukrainian people," Ukrainian opposition lawmaker Petro Poroshenko told reporters.
The meeting was held at the current Munich Security Conference.
Arseny Yatsenyuk, parliamentary leader of the Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party, who had been present at the meeting, said Kerry and the opposition leaders had discussed a practical plan to "put an end to violence, release all the hostages, and investigate cases of abduction, torture and murder of Ukrainians."
"For that purpose we accepted a proposal from the secretary general of the Council of Europe, [Thorbjorn] Jagland, for setting up an independent commission with the participation of the opposition, the authorities and a representative of the secretary general of the Council of Europe," Yatsenyuk said.
Other parts of the plan were "a constitutional reform - immediate return to a parliamentary-presidential republic - and an economic package," Yatsenyuk said, explaining that Ukraine would have to carry through the proposed constitutional reform to receive a promised economic aide package from the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and other international bodies.
"We discussed a very serious economic package with our Western partners, a package that can only be offered to a new Ukrainian government and on condition that the Ukrainian opposition receives full power after the reform," Yatsenyuk said.
He said there was an extra proposal for setting up a commission to include UN representatives for "the release of all the hostages" on condition that the Ukrainian government agrees to this.
Poroshenko said EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, European Commissioner Stefan Fuele, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, and the foreign ministers of some of the EU member countries would visit Kyiv next week.
Kerry's meeting with the Ukrainian opposition figures lasted about an hour rather than half an hour as planned.
