Merkel to meet PMs of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova next week

German Chancellor Angela Merkel next Wednesday will meet with Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk and the government leaders of Georgia and Moldova in Berlin, Merkel's spokeswoman said.

Yatseniuk, Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and their Moldovan counterpart Iurie Leanca will discuss the situation in Ukraine over dinner with Merkel, said her spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz on Friday.

Ukraine's presidential election on Sunday "will naturally play a role" in these discussions, said Wirtz.
