Polish foreign minister says ceasefire must come before Ukraine peace talks

​There ​must be ‌a ceasefire before ​Ukraine peace talks can ‌start, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Friday, adding that ‌no solution to the conflict ‌should be imposed on Kyiv without its agreement.

"It is ⁠essential, ​however, ⁠to maintain the proper sequence," he ⁠told a news conference. "First a ​ceasefire, then talks on a lasting ⁠peace, and only after ⁠that, ​potential discussions on how to restore the functioning ⁠of the European security architecture—and, perhaps, ⁠how ⁠to reinstate arms control regimes."
