Thanks to coffee in huge quantities and domestic dairy products, the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France endured a long night when they reached an agreement on peace in Ukraine, the BBC reported.

President Alexander Lukashenko, who hosted the talks in Minsk, said the presidents ate omelettes, cheese and other dairy products, and drank several buckets of coffee.

"My task was to provide the ammunition in time," he joked.

Lukashenko added that they consumed Belarusian and Russian products.

Expert advisers slept in shifts to keep their heads clear, Lukashenko said.

Unlike the president, the journalists, who waited all night for the end of the negotiations, also consumed vodka.

Some journalists found solace in delicacies and drinks, which were personally approved by the former director of the farm, Aleksandar Lukashenko, reported Raša today.

The biggest commotion among them was caused by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who at one point left the hall where the negotiations were held.

Journalists jumped in thinking the negotiations were over.

But Merkel only asked for a charger, because the battery on her cell phone ran out.

There were also incidents with journalists.

When Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko came out into the hall at one point, a Russian journalist shouted at the top of his voice: "Mr Poroshenko, why is your army bombing civilians".

As soon as the echo stopped echoing in the corridors of the palace, this journalist lost his accreditation.

There was also a conflict between journalists.

A journalist from the Russian newspaper "Lifenews" started shouting at Ukrainian journalists in a frightening manner.

Security intervened.

This journalist was allowed to stay.

During the marathon negotiations, at least one journalist fell ill, which is why an ambulance was called.
