MEPs to discuss Normandy summit with Honcharuk and Razumkov
The European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee delegation, led by David McAllister (EPP, DE), will travel to Ukraine from December 5 to 7 for meetings with high-level officials and civil society organisations.
“In Kyiv, MEPs will meet with Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk and Verkhovna Rada Chairman Dmytro Razumkov,” the European Parliament said in a press release.
They will also exchange views with the chairs and members of the Verkhovna Rada committees on foreign affairs, European integration, as well as the delegations to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee (PAC) and Euronest Parliamentary Assembly.
Discussions will focus, among many things, on the new Ukrainian leadership’s vision and plans to further develop EU-Ukraine relations, progress made in implementing the Minsk peace agreements and expectations for the forthcoming Normandy Four meeting between the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany, which will seek ways to end the war in Donbas.
As reported, a Normandy Four summit is to take place in Paris on December 9. The meeting will be attended by the leaders of four countries: Ukraine, Russia, France, and Germany. It will be the first meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin.
A key issue on the agenda is resolving the conflict in Donbas.
The last such meeting at the level of the leaders of the states took place in Berlin on October 19, 2016. Its participants acknowledged that there was no breakthrough in the settlement of the conflict in Donbas.
