The US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch noted that the US would not join the «Norman format».

She stated this on the air of the Radio Liberty.

‘I do not think that now there are plans for the US joining the «Norman format», but it does not mean that the US is inactive at the diplomatic level. We cooperate with Ukraine and consult with France and Germany. Occasionally, we also have meetings with the Russians, to see whether there is a way for constructive progress in this process, this is our support for the «Norman format»,’ said Marie Yovanovitch.

The «Norman format» includes a diplomatic group of senior representatives of the four countries (Germany, Russia, Ukraine and France).

For the last time negotiations in the «Norman format» were held on October 20. Official Kiev insists on the inclusion of the United States in the «Norman format».
