Expectations

Reuters

   ROME - Ukraine's foreign minister said on Monday he saw no preparations
   taking place for a promised summit over the armed conflict in eastern
   Ukraine, adding that he had little hope it would make any progress even
   if it goes ahead.

   The leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany met in Paris in
   December to discuss the long-running Ukraine crisis and agreed to get
   together again within four months to keep the dialogue open.
