Kyiv says four-way peace talks over east Ukraine must continue

Ukraine and France are both concerned about the build-up of Russian troops near the border of eastern Ukraine, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a statement on Friday after speaking to his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian.

Both countries agree that four-way peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France over the conflict in the Donbass region must remain active, Kuleba said.
