Minsk, Belarus - 11 February 2015
France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine will hold a new round of talks on Wednesday 11 February in Minsk, Belarus to find a political solution to the conflict in Ukraine.
The summit was decided after the leaders of the four countries discussed the ongoing conflict by telephone on Sunday. German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and French president, François Hollande, have been leading efforts to establish a new peace plan. They both flew to Moscow last Friday for crisis talks with president Vladimir Putin, on ending the 10-month-old conflict.
Merkel then attended the Munich Security Conference, where she met US secretary of state, John Kerry, Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavarov, and Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, to continue work on what Hollande said was “the last chance for peace”.
Western countries accuse Russia of arming the rebels and sending troops to Ukraine, claims Russia denies. More than 5,400 people have been killed in the fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia rebels since April 2014.
