French President Emmanuel Macron will not be able to give a second wind to the "Norman" format, because he himself is not successful.

This opinion was expressed in the commentary to the "Observer" by the diplomat, the head of the board of the State Enterprise "European Telecommunications of Ukraine" Vadim Trykhan.

"Macron is unlikely to give a new breath to the" Norman "format, although he will try. The problem is that the "Norman" format itself was unsuccessful. After the "cold war", no serious conflict was resolved without the United States.

When Ukraine agreed to a soft intermediate form of settlement, it made a big mistake, "the diplomat said..

According to him, Kiev should think not only about reviving the "Norman" format, but also about how to involve the US in negotiations.

"Moreover, the Russians have long been waiting for the inclusion of the States, judging by a number of statements," - concluded Truhan.

As reported by the "Observer", a telephone conversation was announced in the "Norman" format.
