MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. The program of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Paris on December 9 for a summit of the Normandy Four is being worked out now, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS commenting on a possible separate meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.

"The program of this trip is only in the works," Peskov said.

The Normandy Four summit (Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine) devoted to settling the Ukrainian crisis is scheduled for December 9 in Paris. Besides Putin and Zelensky, the summit will be attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron.
