'Normandy Quartet' Officials To Hold Latest Talks On Ukraine Conflict
By RFE/RL
Foreign Ministers from Russia, Germany, France, and Ukraine are set to meet on November 29 for the latest discussions on the simmering conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Officials from the so-called Normandy Quartet have met repeatedly since a cease-fire known as the Minsk Agreements were reached in February 2015.
That deal laid out a road map for ending the violence that has pitted Ukrainian government forces against separatist backed by Russia. More than 9,600 people have been killed to date.
But the implementation of the deal has sputtered, as Ukrainian nationalist lawmakers have balked against granting too much autonomy to eastern regions.
And separatists have continued to shell and skirmish with Ukrainian forces, with varying intensity.
The meeting will be held in Belarusian capital, Minsk.
