Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said after talks wound up that the Russian, French and German leaders were working on drawing up a plan to end the conflict, calling Friday’s talks “substantial and constructive”.
"Work is under way to prepare the text of a possible joint document to implement the Minsk agreements [of September]," said Peskov. The plan would include proposals from both Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Putin, he added.
The next diplomatic step will be a telephone call planned for Sunday between Putin, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande, Peskov said.
Hollande and Merkel departed from Moscow soon after the talks.

ReplyDeleteFrench President Francois Hollande called for “quite strong” autonomy for Ukraine’s eastern regions while speaking on France 2 TV. He also revealed part of the joint plan discussed in Moscow on the conflict’s solution.
On Saturday, Hollande said that the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk need “rather strong” autonomy from Kiev.
“These people have gone to war," Hollande explained. "It will be difficult to make them share a common life [with Kiev]."
