"The leaders of the three states discussed proposals for agreements that could be considered at the Normandy format summit," Zelensky's office said.
At the end of September, the head of the Ukrainian leader's office, Andriy Yermak, said that Kiev was working to ensure that the leaders' meeting in the Normandy format would take place before the end of Merkel's term.
As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted, Moscow does not need a "meeting for the sake of a meeting" in the Normandy format.
