The French Foreign Minister Jean Marc Ayrault said, that cancellation of anti-Russian sanctions will undermine efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine and will mean the victory of those, who endangered the security of Ukraine, reports the RFI.

"Abandoning the Minsk accords would be a mistake for our strategic interests," said Jean Marc Ayrault. Referring to the results of the negotiations held in Minsk, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that there are no reasons, that would ensure success, but it does not mean that the meeting is being held for the sake of the meeting.

In October Norman four agreed to adopt a road map to settle the conflict in Donbas by the end of November. " There is still no agreement about this road map," said Steinmeier calling both sides to hold accountable.
