Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin does not expect a breakthrough from the meeting of foreign ministers in the Normandy format (Germany, France, Ukraine and Russia) which will take place in Munich on February 18.

"I do not expect any breakthrough from tomorrow's meeting. We have a proposal in the area of security, we will consistently put pressure in the humanitarian area, raise the issue of the roadmap," he told reporters upon his arrival in Munich on Friday.

According to him, the Ukrainian side has a clear logic of the sequence of steps and guarantees, which Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov refused to discuss at the previous meeting.

The Ukrainian foreign minister said he will raise two key issues – security and humanitarian ones. In particular, Klimkin said he meant giving the OSCE mission access to the whole territory of Donbas, as well as their access to the border.

"These are the two priorities," he said.
