Berlin has not received any messages from Moscow and Kyiv that they may want to change the existing format of Ukrainian settlement negotiations, German Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said.

"So far, I have not heard a wish either from Moscow or from Kyiv to change the format," Gabriel said in an interview with Interfax when asked about the possibility of 'resetting' the Minsk process on Ukraine and prospects for the United States' inclusion in the 'Normandy format'.

"The Minsk agreements describe all of the important issues that would emerge should any new talks begin," he said.
