Ukraine's Zelenskiy to hold talks with Merkel, Macron about Russia standoff
KYIV (Reuters) - The leaders of Ukraine, France and Germany will hold three-way talks on Friday about Ukraine's standoff with Russia over the conflict in the eastern Donbass region, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a video released to media on Thursday.
Zelenskiy will travel to Paris to meet French President Emmanuel Macron and they will speak to German Chancellor Angela Merkel on a video conference, he said.
The meeting would lay the groundwork for a meeting in the so-called "Normandy" format, he said, though he gave no indication whether or when such a meeting could happen.
The "Normandy" format talks involve the leaders of France, Germany, Ukraine and Russia and have not taken place since December 2019.
