“Russia is ready for the ministerial meeting and the summit.

This was said by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel and (French President Emmanuel) Macron.

You just need to prepare a document in advance that reflects joint understandings.

Our colleagues still have a problem with this, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow expects a reaction to the submitted proposals and does not see the expediency of holding the summit in the Normandy format just for the very fact of the meeting.

Lavrov noted that for Russia, the priority "is precisely the substantive side of the matter," and not "posing in front of television cameras."
