Poroshenko meets with Merkel ahead of Normandy summit in Paris

“An important conversation with Angela Merkel on the eve of the Normandy summit in Paris. I emphasized once again that sanctions against Russia as an aggressor country must be maintained until the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Poroshenko wrote on his Facebook page on November 20.

As reported, the next summit with the participation of the leaders of Ukraine, France, Germany and Russia (the so-called Normandy Four) is to take place in Paris on December 9.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier that he intended to raise at this meeting the issue of specific terms of Donbas de-occupation, the return of hostages, the resolution of the security situation, and the holding of local elections.
