The two diplomats held a phone conversation and discussed the latest developments in the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called the ongoing hostilities ‘an internal Ukrainian conflict’, adding that the chances for another Normandy Four ministerial meeting depend on Kyiv’s readiness to take more steps for political settlement of the conflict.
Previously, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said the leaders of the Normandy Four haven’t yet agreed on the date of the next ministerial meeting. There also was information that the ministers could meet in autumn.
