Representatives of France, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine met on Wednesday in Paris for the first in-person Normandy Format talks on the Ukraine peace process since January 2021. Negotiators spoke for eight hours before emerging to reaffirm their commitment to the Minsk deals as the basis for further negotiations, despite disagreements on how they should be implemented.

They also voiced their support for observance of the now-frayed June 2020 ceasefire deal and agreed to meet again in two weeks time in Berlin.

Crisis Group expert Olga Oliker says the lengthy discussions and limited results reflect the distance between the parties, but in light of a continuing Russian build-up near Ukraine and tense diplomatic engagement between Moscow and Western capitals, the fact of the meeting, and the promise of more negotiations, is positive, but overall the standoff is still extremely dangerous and the menace of a Russian escalation in Ukraine still looms.
