SEVASTOPOL, Aug 19 : Russia wants the leaders of Germany and France to put more pressure on Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to implement a February peace plan for east Ukraine, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday.
Poroshenko will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French Presi-dent Francois Hollande in Berlin on Monday in a bid to end a new wave of violence in east Ukraine between Russian-backed rebels and Ukraine's armed forces. Kiev blames the rebels for violating a shaky truce.     ?REUTERS
