“As for the Normandy format. For better or worse, there is no other option to at least attempt a settlement. And therefore, of course, Russia will support this format,” Putin said.
“And you will communicate with Poroshenko?” – the journalists asked him.
“Probably, where to go, we’ll have to communicate,” said the Russian president.
“But I told both the Federal Chancellor and the President of France that the question is not whether to meet or not to meet. The question is that these meetings of ours lead to some kind of positive movement forward on the path to settlement. I believe that it is pointless to simply celebrate the very fact of meetings. I got the impression that no one just wants to meet for the sake of meeting. Maybe, except for Poroshenko himself. I don’t know, I haven’t talked to him for a long time,” Putin added.
