PARIS, February 8. /TASS/. Normandy Format talks seeking to settle the Ukrainian crisis will continue in the next few days, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday.

Macron made the comments at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish President Andrzej Duda in Berlin, referring to the format that brings together Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine.

"We will in the next few days and weeks, as part of the Normandy Format, continue talks on the political framework for settling the crisis," Macron said in comments that were broadcast by the Elysee Palace on Twitter. "Also, our political advisors will hold an important meeting."

Earlier Macron said the political advisors of the heads of the four countries that make up the Normandy Format will convene for a meeting in Berlin on February 10.

The previous meeting of Normandy Format political advisors took place in Paris on January 26. Russian Presidential Administration Deputy Head Dmitry Kozak led the Russian delegation. It was the first in-person meeting of the political advisors after a hiatus of more than two years.

The Normandy Format of talks on Ukraine came into existence in June 2014 when the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany, who gathered in Normandy for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, discussed the settlement of the conflict in southeastern Ukraine for the first time.

In February 2015, Normandy Format talks in Minsk ended with an adoption of a Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements. This set of measures has not yet been implemented. The last fifth meeting of the Normandy format was held on December 9, 2019 in Paris.
