"For us to meet in the Normandy format in September at the level of foreign ministers, all parties involved realize that we need to meet not to repeat what was achieved at the Paris summit, but to discuss how to put these decisions into practice. On the one hand, there's a ceasefire; on the other hand, there are mechanisms to exercise oversight. It also applies to the opening of additional crossing points," Maas said at a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv on Monday.

"We will also have the opportunity to discuss political issues, i.e., the so-called Steinmeier formula,  regional elections, and what powers military personnel will have. These are the matters that should be discussed in the Normandy format at the level of foreign ministers," Maas said.
