Peskov also said that during the talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, the issue of a Normandy format summit was raised.
“As for the summit, yes, indeed, everyone said that the summit was necessary.
But it was also stipulated that at the same time, no one forgets about the Paris summit and everyone remembers that things are not going well with the implementation of the Paris agreements, ”he said.
The Kremlin noted that at the meeting "the idea of the need to intensify the negotiation process through political advisers was emphasized."
Earlier, Putin discussed the situation in eastern Ukraine with Merkel and Macron via videoconference.
