The State Department announced the absence of new proposals on the Ukrainian conflict.

The United States has not yet received any new proposals to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. This was announced on May 6 by State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.

"If there were new offers, I would not be standing here and saying that we are waiting for new offers," she told reporters.

Bruce noted that negotiations are volatile at this stage. The representative of the State Department also stated that, despite the instability observed during the negotiation processes, work on the settlement is constantly continuing.
