The next meetings of presidents of Ukraine, France, Germany and Russia will take place in autumn, not before. Ukrinform reported this with a reference to a diplomatic source in Ukraine.

The interlocutor added that most recently, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin visited France with the working visit. There was no announcement, no coverage in the press before the visit, and no meeting with journalists were scheduled there. ‘The Ukrainian minister met with his French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault and other top-rank French officials,’ the diplomat stressed, adding that the key topic of the negotiations was implementation of Minsk negotiations and Ukraine-France bilateral relations.
