Previous Normandy-format decisions need to be fulfilled before moving on – Lavrov

MINSK. Oct 14 (Interfax) – Earlier decisions made in the Normandy format of Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine promoting a settlement in eastern Ukraine need to be fulfilled before resuming Normandy-format contacts, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday.

"Truth be told I am a bit surprised by the insistency of our Western colleagues’ push for the resumption of Normandy-format meetings without providing the fulfillment of earlier decisions for their part," Lavrov told reporters in Minsk.
