MOSCOW, Aug. 27 -- The Contact Group for Ukraine is to resume work in the coming days, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.

The group's membership was not separately discussed and would apparently remain the same, said the spokesman without specifying the exact time of the resumption.

"Agreement has been reached that the Contact Group must resume its work as quickly as possible," Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier after the Minsk summit, assuring that Russia would do everything for that.

Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko "emphasized that it was necessary to continue the aid provision due to the humanitarian disaster in Ukraine's eastern regions," Peskov said when commenting Tuesday's bilateral meeting between the two leaders.

"The humanitarian supplies will be delivered under the aegis of the International Committee of the Red Cross and in full coordination with Ukrainian authorities," the Itar-Tass news agency quoted the spokesman as saying.

Leaders of the three Customs Union (CU) states and Ukraine as well as representatives from the European Union (EU) met Tuesday in the Belarusian capital of Minsk to discuss the Ukraine crisis and economic cooperation.

The most eye-catching event was the bilateral meeting between Russian and Ukrainian leaders after the summit, the first such meeting since Poroshenko took office in May.

Although all sides at the Minsk summit have agreed to a peace plan for Ukraine, no breakthrough surfaced in efforts to end the months-long unrest in eastern Ukraine.
