"A telephone conversation is planned in the near future. Security issues and releasing hostages with a special emphasis on safety will be discussed among other things," he told a briefing on Tuesday, August 22.

Klimkin also noted a personal meeting between the leaders of states makes sense when one can hope for a real result.
