At the Normandy format summit in Paris on December 9, a number of agreements were reached, now the task is to implement them.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said this after talks with German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs Heiko Maas in Berlin on December 20, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The initiatives launched by President Zelensky finally brought us to the summit. So far, not enough progress has been made. We still have to work hard to implement the decisions adopted by the leaders in Paris a week and a half ago,” the minister said.

He noted that the talks had been mainly devoted to the issue of peace in Ukraine. Prystaiko added that Germany played a key role in this process.

At present, everyone is counting on the work of colleagues in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG). The parties discussed seven issues. “A little progress has been made, but we are optimistic about the future work of the TCG,” Prystaiko said.
