Four-way talks held in Paris between diplomats from Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France aimed at ending a conflict in eastern Ukraine concluded late on Wednesday, according to two diplomatic sources.

The discussions, held under the so-called 'Normandy format', lasted more than eight hours. The conflict in eastern Ukraine pits Kyiv's forces against Russian-backed separatists and has raged since 2014.
