"Instructions have been given that the foreign ministers should elaborate the main clauses of the draft road map at their meeting until the end of November," he said at a press conference after a meeting of the leaders of Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia in Berlin on Wednesday.

What is more, he said, the four leaders in Berlin determined major provisions of the future road map and agreed that they would sign the document after it has been drafted and approved.

They also agreed that the road map would be based on the proposals put forth by Berlin and Paris, he added.

"We should draw up and approve a working road map. The Ukrainian proposal was first supported by our German and French partners, and as of today, the German and French proposals on the road map guidelines have been approved by the Normandy Four," he said.

Poroshenko also said that the major task set by the Ukrainian side over recent months was to agree on the elaboration of such a document.

"I can say that the main task we set before ourselves in the past six months or so was to switch from the interaction format over to the format of creating a working "road map," which will incorporate two components: the component of the sequence of steps we are taking to implement the Minsk agreements and the guarantees of their implementation. The very fact of the Normandy Four meeting – you remember those comments we heard in August that the Normandy format would not happen and was no longer relevant – [demonstrates that there is] no alternative to the Normandy format," Poroshenko said.
