Brussels--French President Francois Hollande said Thursday the next few hours would be critical for a new Ukraine peace deal, adding that it was essential to keep up pressure to ensure the accord's success.
"The next few hours will be decisive as it could go either way," Hollande said as he arrived at an EU summit in Brussels fresh from the peace talks in Minsk, adding: "We will have to remain vigilant, to maintain the pressure and to press ahead."
