This was reported by TASS with reference to a European source in Brussels.

“At present, it is considered November 19 as the date of the meeting, but it has not yet been confirmed by the parties,” the source said.

Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a telephone conversation discussed the separation of forces in the Donbass, as well as the issue of trilateral negotiations on the conditions for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine.

On November 8, trilateral expert consultations of Russia, the EU and Ukraine on gas were completed in Brussels, during which they discussed the preparation of a new round of ministerial consultations on a contract for the supply and transit of Russian gas through Ukraine from 2020.
