The Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin does not expect any breakthroughs from the meeting of leaders “Norman Quartet”, which will take place on 19 October in Berlin.
He declared it on air of TV channel “112 Ukraine”.
“Tomorrow should be a test. Such an arrangement, since the idea belongs largely to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but was supported by the President of France and the us, with the aim to understand whether we can continue to put pressure on the Russian leadership in the implementation of the Minsk agreements. It is obligatory on the eve of the European Council, which will discuss the issue of relations with Russia. Therefore, in this context it is very important”, – said the Minister.

Only it should overlap the execution of political agreements.”
