The Speaker notes that the Normandy Format will allow return of uncontrolled territories and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not step aside from the crucial red lines at the negotiations on December 9.

The Normandy Format leaders agreed on all-for-all hostage exchange before New Year's Day.

They plan to hold another meeting in the Normandy Format in four months.
