After that, the Kremlin said that the date of the meeting of foreign ministers of the “Quartet of Normandy” has not yet been determined, but such a meeting could help organize the summit.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, answering questions about the possibility of holding a summit at the level of foreign ministers, said earlier that Ukraine expects a signal from Moscow, but so far the Ukrainian diplomatic service has not received “any signals.”
Due to the position of the Russian Federation, in particular, a possible meeting on November 11 failed.
