The Contact Group on the settlement of the situation in Ukraine will gather for another session today.

No documents were signed in Paris. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande who talked to journalists after the summit described the negotiations only in broad terms. Concrete steps for further settlement should be discussed by the sides in the framework of the Contact Group.
