“If you carefully trace the recent initiatives, Ukraine is very focused on results. This does not mean that the result will come immediately. But Ukraine managed to resume the “Norman format” level of foreign Ministers, the two years they hadn’t spoken in the format of four Ministers. We did it for the first time. Now preparing the second conversation,” he said.

Not to imitate activity and to join this process, there is such a wonderful principle of diplomacy – reciprocity, and mutually work to resolve the conflict,” he concluded.
