A new round of consultations on the peace process in eastern Ukraine will be held in a multilateral format involving OSCE representatives, a source in the 'Donetsk People's Republic' government told Interfax.

“The participant composition will be the same. For instance,
Ukraine’s second president Leonid Kuchma will partake [in the
consultations] and the attendance of Russian Ambassador to Ukraine
Mikhail Zurabov and special representative of the OSCE
[chairperson-in-office] Heidi Tagliavini is expected,” the source said.

The OSCE mission will have a broader representation at the
consultations, “there will be one or two OSCE representatives more,” he
said.
