No substantial progress has been made so far as part of discussions on a draft roadmap for implementing the Minsk agreements, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said.

"As for the question of whether we have reached the very logic of the discussion. Yes, we have. Have we made any actual progress? No, we have not, unfortunately," the Ukrainian minister said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

If the sides prove to be able to agree upon this document's logic in general, the next meeting of the 'Normandy format' leaders will be quite possible, he said.

"As for China, it was only one of the ideas regarding a timeframe. But there were also other [ideas] because the meeting should be aimed at [achieving] a real substantial result," Klimkin said.

"Such a meeting will be possible if we manage to generally agree upon the logic of the roadmap for implementing the Minsk [accords], maybe except for one or two issues that need to be tackled at the leaders' level," Klimkin said.
