The leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France are expected to sign a document following all-night talks in Minsk, according to a diplomatic source.
The development comes after lengthy crisis discussions aimed at ending 10 months of bloodshed in eastern Ukraine.
The source would not provide details about the nature of the document, according to the Reuters news agency.
Ukrainian presidential aide Valeriy Chaly earlier said a "battle of nerves" was under way as the discussions dragged towards dawn.
"We've got another 5-6 hours of work. At least," he said in a Facebook post after talks had already been going on for seven hours.
"But we should not leave here without an agreement on an unconditional ceasefire."
Sky's Stuart Ramsay, who is at the talks, said: "We've seen a lot of running around with what look like communiques, so something appears to be getting done."
French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko.
Mr Poroshenko has said the talks are crucial in deciding whether the situation will de-escalate or spiral "out of control".
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.
There was a spike in violence in eastern Ukraine as the talks began.
Nineteen Ukrainian soldiers were killed and 78 wounded in rebel attacks near the railway town of Debaltseve, a military spokesman said.
In Donetsk, five people were reportedly killed and nine wounded in mortar attacks.
