More on tomorrow's summit from RFE/RL's News Desk:
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said he does not have "very high expectations" ahead of a four-way summit to address the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
"I'm very optimistic about the future of Ukraine, but unfortunately not so optimistic about tomorrow's meeting," Poroshenko said on October 18 in Oslo.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has invited Poroshenko, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and President Francois Hollande of France to Berlin on October 19 to "assess the implementation” of the Minsk agreements, her spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
Seibert said they will also “discuss further steps" in the process toward ending the Ukraine crisis.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was “[too] early to speak about any specific agreement."
