Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that talks aimed to resolve the situation in Donbas in the format of the Normandy Group nations (Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia) constitute a basic format and there is no need to create a new one.

"As for new (negotiating) formats I am convinced that we don't need new formats. We have the Minsk format, the Normandy format, I am sure we will be able to resolve all necessary issues within these formats," he told a press conference after his talks in Berlin with French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
