The leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France could be close to an agreement after 12 hours of talks aimed at resolving the Ukrainian crisis, diplomatic sources say.
Details remain unclear about a document expected to be signed in the Belarus capital Minsk.
Sources said it may be a joint declaration rather than a full agreement to end the 10-month conflict.
"There's hope that an agreement will be signed by the contact group," one diplomatic source told the AFP news agency.
Ukrainian presidential aide Valeriy Chaly said earlier a "battle of nerves" was under way as dawn approached.
"We've got another 5-6 hours of work. At least," he said on Facebook after talks had already been going on for seven hours.
"But we should not leave here without an agreement on an unconditional ceasefire."
The talks, in the Belarussian capital Minsk, involve Russia President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Mr Poroshenko has said they are crucial in deciding whether the situation will de-escalate or spiral "out of control".
Sky's Stuart Ramsay, who is at the summit, said: "We've seen a lot of running around with what look like communiques, so something appears to be getting done."
The negotiations opened with a brief handshake between Mr Poroshenko and Mr Putin, who were meeting for the first time since October.
A source close to one of the delegations told the AFP news agency: "Everybody is yawning but they are still arguing."
Another source with knowledge of the discussions told AFP the leaders hoped to sign a joint statement calling for the fulfilment of an earlier failed peace plan signed by Kiev and the rebels last year.
