MOSCOW. — The leaders of the so-called Normandy Four — Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France —have agreed to meet in the Belarus capital on Wednesday. President Putin, however, stressed that the countries have to agree on several issues beforehand.
“I have finished the talks with my colleagues from Kiev, Berlin and Paris in the so-called Normandy format. We have agreed to try to organise a meeting in the same format between the heads of states and governments in Minsk.
“We will try to make it on Wednesday, if certain issues would be agreed upon by that date,” Putin said during his meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
