The timing and format of the new talks between the leaders are still being agreed upon, Lavrov said.
“In the course of the next contact between our presidents, its time and other parameters are being discussed, undoubtedly, the Ukrainian topic will arise one way or another,” he said.
At the same time, the minister noted that the Russian side does not consider it necessary to create new formats for Ukraine.
“There is a” Normandy format “and there is the most important mechanism that implements the agreements concluded in the Minsk package of measures and in subsequent decisions,” he said.
At the same time, according to him, Moscow proceeds from the assumption that the United States “after all, perhaps, understands the current situation a little better” around the Ukrainian settlement.
“Well, the fact that they can influence Kiev more than any other is probably no one doubts,” Lavrov said.
