Franco-German plan will offer more details on Minsk - U.S. official


MUNICH (Reuters) - A Franco-German initiative to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine is based on the Minsk peace pact but will contain more details on implementation and timing of the deal, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Saturday.

"What is different is there is a bit more detail around how it will be implemented and more of a roadmap on timing, but it is broadly consistent with Minsk," a senior State Department official said after meetings between the United States and leaders from Germany and Ukraine.
