The next meeting of the foreign ministers in the Normandy Format will focus on the ways to advance the Donbas conflict settlement, as the situation there has not changed much, Ukraine's Ambassador-at-Large Dmytro Kuleba has said.

"The key topic will be the overall concept of the settlement, in particular the current stage [of the conflict] and where we are going," Kuleba said on TV Channel 5 on Wednesday.

According to him, the situation in Donbas remains unchanged, the ceasefire regime is constantly violated and heavy machinery is being used.

"Therefore, the first issue is how Russia is going to ensure the ceasefire and secondly, how to create secure conditions for holding elections in accordance with Ukrainian legislation and OSCE standards," Kuleba said.

As reported, the foreign ministers of Germany, Russia, Ukraine and France may meet in Berlin on May 11.
