MOSCOW. Sept 4 (Interfax) - Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland positively views Russian President Vladimir Putin's initiative for settling the crisis in eastern Ukraine but says it should be supported with concrete steps.
Jagland said in Moscow on Thursday answering a question from Interfax it was good the initiative had been made and added they should hope it could lead to something.
It is very important to maintain positive dynamics in the fulfillment of such proposals and to make one positive step after another under such circumstances, he stressed.
A prisoner swap could be one of these positive steps, the Council of Europe secretary general stated.
