Berlin unaware of date for next Normandy summit

The date for the next summit in the Normandy format has not been set yet, Germany's deputy government spokesperson Ulrike Demmer has said.

"As for the date for the Normandy leaders' meeting, I can't say anything," she said in response to a question from Ukrinform.

Demmer declined to provide any information on whether German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President-elect Joe Biden discussed Ukraine during a phone call, given Germany's role in the settlement process.

The topic of Ukraine, she said, was discussed during a phone call between Merkel and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which they had on November 10.

Earlier reports said that Biden had discussed Ukraine with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
