Details
I think rounds of negotiations with the Russian side will resume. The question is in what format. Europeans are in favor of it being a joint track with the Americans. And everyone also supports the track we proposed. I believe in a bilateral meeting. But partners must be present
He added that the presence of partners is important because there are many things Ukraine counts on: security guarantees after the end of the war, membership in the European Union.
We are giving the Russians the opportunity to choose the format
Recall
Informal contacts with Russia, between Ukraine and the team of US President Donald Trump regarding a possible end to the war, have resumed. Among the options being discussed is a two-stage ceasefire with the introduction of a buffer zone along the front line.
