French President Francois Hollande has promised that Europe will make "categorical decisions" on the crisis in Ukraine

"Categorical decisions will be made on the Ukrainian crisis in the near future," Hollande told a briefing in Baku on Monday.

Hollande said discussions are now conducted on the matter.

"My recent visit to the Southern Caucasus has a special context associated with the events in Ukraine," he said.

Hollande said France has always supported the territorial integrity of all countries and a peaceful solution to all conflicts.

The French president also reiterated the need to express a principled position on crises such as those in Ukraine and Nagorny Karabakh.
