“This date is among others, it’s being discussed and it’s not excluded that it will happen on that day,” the source told RIA Novosti.
The Normandy Four group, comprising the representatives from Ukraine, Russia, Germany, France was created in 2014 to secure a peaceful settlement to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Kiev launched a military operation in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas in April 2014, after the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk rejected the new central government in Kiev, that came to power after what they considered to be a coup, and proclaimed independence.
The sides failed to fulfill the agreements by the end of 2015, as initially intended. The Normandy Four quartet agreed to extend its deadline for completion into this year.
