Three years have passed since the start of Ukrainian-Russian talks in the Normandy format. They began in 2014 after the start of Russian agression, with the first meeting of Ukrainian and Russian presidents, Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Putin, along with German and French leaders. Then followed the Minsk I and Minsk II agreements, which appear to have reached a stalemate.
