BERLIN (Reuters) - The foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France met in Berlin on Monday to discuss the implementation of the peace plan for Ukraine and the deployment of a UN peacekeeping mission in the country's conflict zone.

Monday's meeting was the first between the four ministers since February 2017, though lower level officials have met regularly in the past four years in the so-called Normandy format to try to resolve a separatist conflict in Ukraine, in which more than 10,000 people have been killed.
