KYIV – A flurry of diplomatic activity continues around events surrounding the forthcoming summit of the “Normandy Four” leaders (Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine), and the separate, and now confirmed, meeting of the Ukrainian and U.S. presidents.
Ukraine’s new minister of foreign affairs, Vadym Prystaiko, indicated on September 18 that a meeting of the Normandy Four – which Ukraine had wanted to be held in September – will now probably be held in October. That same day, the White House announced that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with President Donald Trump next week in New York during the opening of the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
