Peskov noted that even though the “Normandy Four” states would like to have this meeting there are not preconditions for it.
“There could be preconditions if the Ukrainian side showed their readiness to implement those steps that are outlined in the Minsk agreements. But at the moment, unfortunately, the Ukrainian side does no show their readiness. And since there are no prospects for any tangible results we cannot count on these high level negotiations," Peskov stated.
