Moscow said that Hollande and Merkel showed themselves to be losers in Ukraine
Russia and the United States must reach agreements on Ukraine as quickly as possible. The leaders of Germany and France have demonstrated a complete inability to influence Kiev’s implementation of the Minsk agreements.
Nikolai Platoshkin, head of the department of international relations and diplomacy at Moscow Humanitarian University, stated this at a press conference in Moscow.

“We should not bet on losers like Hollande and Merkel. We must immediately agree on a roadmap for implementing the Minsk agreements. To have specific dates. For example, the change in the Ukrainian constitution is May 1. If these dates are not met, ask from Ukraine. So far, the West is convinced that we are not implementing the Minsk agreements, although we are not a party there at all,” Platoshkin said, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Let us recall that following a recent meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced his intention to create a line of bilateral contacts with Washington on Ukraine, which will complement the Normandy format.
