Germany, France seek four-way talks on eastern Ukraine conflict on Nov. 29
Germany and France have invited Ukraine and Russia to meet in Minsk next week for four-way talks aimed at kick-starting peace talks on the crisis in eastern Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Wednesday.
Steinmeier said he hoped the foreign ministers from all four countries could meet next Tuesday, weeks before US President-elect Donald Trump is due to take office.
It remains unclear how Trump, who has promised to improve ties with Russia, will respond to continued fighting between Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed separatists.
