YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 16, ARMENPRESS. Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have discussed the fight against terrorism and the situation in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday. “Armenpress” reports the aforementioned referring to Sputnik International. 

"The conversation with Merkel was quite specific. The fight against terrorism, [the situation in] Ukraine were the issues that were specifically discussed," Peskov told reporters.

The two leaders also addressed the EU-Ukraine association deal, he added.

"Unfortunately, our contacts with the Europeans and the Ukrainians are not giving the desired results, and the consequences of this agreement entering into force remain negative. Attempts to discuss this problem have been unsuccessful. Moreover, a regression has been noted in terms of European partners not wishing to take Russia's concerns into account," Peskov said.
