On March 2, 2018, students in the Carleton University graduate course on the EU and its Eastern Neighbours<\/a>, produced the following agreement as a result of a simulation exercise. In the exercise student participants represented the following actors in the simulation: OSCE<\/a> (moderator); European Union; Russian Federation; Government of Ukraine; representations of the People\u2019s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine; France; and the Federal Republic of Germany.<\/p>\n

This following document was concluded by the simulation participants:<\/p>\n

Minsk III Simulation Agreement<\/u><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Immediate and full ceasefire in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine and its strict fulfilment as of 00:00 midnight EET on 15 March 2018.<\/li>\n
  2. Pull-out of all heavy weapons by both sides to equal distance with the aim of creation of a security zone on minimum 50 kilometres (31 mi) apart for artillery of 100mm calibre or more, and a security zone of 70 kilometres (43 mi) for multiple rocket launchers (MRLS) and 140 kilometres (87 mi) for MLRS Tornado-S, Uragan, Smerch, and Tochka U tactical missile systems:\n

    4. Effective monitoring and verification of ceasefire regime and pullout of heavy weapons by OSCE will be provided from the first day of pullout, using all necessary technical means such as satellites, drones, radio-location systems etc.<\/li>\n
    5. Introduction of UN peacekeeping troops to oversee demilitarisation and establishment of a stationed trust-building and monitoring committee led by Ukrainian officials and including Russian, Donetsk, Luhansk, OSCE, and EU delegates. Such a committee would oversee implementation of current agreement, coordinate with the UN mission and establish a timeframe and procedure for local elections.<\/li>\n
    6. On the first day after the pullout a dialogue is to start a discussion, within the monitoring committee on modalities of conducting local elections in accordance with the Ukrainian legislation and the Law of Ukraine \u201cOn temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts,\u201d and also about the future of these districts based on the above-mentioned law.
