KIEV--A "contact group" meeting of Ukraine, Russia and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe could be held in the next few days to consider a peace plan for Ukraine, Interfax quoted Ukraine's foreign minister as saying on Thursday.

"We are working on this and I hope that the session will be held in the next few days, but the date must be agreed by the three-sided contact group itself," the minister, Pavlo Klimkin, was quoted by the news agency as saying.

Earlier this week, Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France called off plans to hold a summit on Thursday on the Ukraine conflict, and it would be now down to the "contact group" to meet again to consider the next move under a 12-point peace plan mapped out in Minsk, Belarus, last September.
