MOSCOW. Oct 1 (Interfax) - Ukrainian officials have shown no interest in implementing the Steinmeier formula at the Donbas talks in Minsk, two sources from negotiating parties told Interfax.
"Kyiv's representatives in the political subgroup are stalling the approval of these documents. They have shown no interest," one of the sources said.
Meanwhile, a source in the Ukrainian delegation told Interfax that the Steinmeier formula "can be implemented only after security standards are ensured and Kyiv regains control over the Donbas sector of the Ukrainian-Russian border."
"We have not seen obvious signs of consensus, but the discussion continues," the source said.
