Four states have reached "certain progress" on several important issues about the Ukrainian crisis on Monday.

The high-level meeting, which marked the second round of talks of top diplomats over the crisis, was held in Berlin and lasted for over five hours. Among the attendees were four foreign ministers - Pavlo Klimkin of Ukraine, Sergey Lavrov of Russia, Frank Walter Steinmeier of Germany and Laurent Fabius of France.

In an interview, the foreign ministers admitted that the talks didn't bring immediate results, but they made headway on several issues, including the delivery of humanitarian aid to southeastern Ukraine.

Lavrov said Russia is sending 400 trucks of humanitarian aid and that they have already ironed out all the details with the Ukrainian party and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

"I expect that this aid will be delivered as soon as possible to those who need it," the Russian diplomat said.

Russia has dispatched 280 trucks with about 2,000 tons of humanitarian aid to the conflict areas in Ukraine. Aside from the humanitarian aid, the trucks also contain grain, sugar, baby food, medication, sleeping bags and mobile electric generators, according to Russian officials.

Of the 280 trucks, 16 have already arrived at the customs checkpoint on Sunday. Pascal Suttatt, head of the ICRC delegation for Russia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, personally examined the trucks at the Ukrainian border and was satisfied with the aid's condition.

Meanwhile, German FM Steinmeier said the negotiations will continue next week, stressing that the group will work on finding out how to ease the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and avoid adding more victims to the crisis.

Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine first met in July to start the negotations on the Ukrainian crisis. After the first meeting that lasted two hours, the four foreign ministers issued a joint declaration, in which they reconfirmed that they are committed to restoring and sustaining peace and stability in Ukraine.
