French authorities are preparing a new meeting on the Ukrainian crisis settlement together with Germany, Russia and Ukraine, the French Foreign Ministry spokesman said Wednesday.

"We are working with our ‘Normandy format’ partners to organize the next meeting of foreign ministers," Romain Nadal told reporters without naming any exact date.
