MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Last week, Ukrainian Vice-Prime Minister on European Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze said that the next meeting of the Normandy Four countries, comprising Russia, Germany, Ukraine and France, is likely to happen after the July 8-9 NATO summit in Warsaw.
"Actually, no," the source said, when asked whether the meeting’s date has been determined.
France has not made any proposals to Russia to hold a Normandy Four leaders meeting, according to the source.
Ukraine launched a military operation in the country's southeast in April 2014, after local residents refused to recognize the coup in Kiev that toppled ex-President Viktor Yanukovich.
In February 2015, a peace agreement was signed between Ukraine’s conflicting sides in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, after talks of the Normandy Four countries. The deal stipulates a full ceasefire, weapons withdrawal from the line of contact in eastern Ukraine, an all-for-all prisoner exchange and constitutional reforms, which would give a special status to the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics.
