“There is a Norman format that has not worked for two years. July 12 was the first meeting of representatives. We agreed that there will be another meeting more substantial and after one meeting four leaders will try to meet: President of Ukraine, President of Russia Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel and President of France Emmanuel Macron, ”said Zelensky in a video posted on his YouTube channel.

In June, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the assistants to the heads of state of the “Norman four” at their own meeting will decide whether there is “soil” necessary for the meeting of the leaders of the countries.
