And which issues of conflict resolution remain the most difficult?

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on February 13 that the Europeans would not be at the next round of trilateral talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine on resolving the Ukrainian crisis in Geneva. According to him, the format of the meeting presupposes the presence of only three sides of the negotiation process.

On the same day, Peskov said that negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis would be held on February 17-18 in Geneva. The Russian delegation will be headed by Vladimir Medinsky, Assistant to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Peskov noted that Geneva was chosen for the talks because it was considered an appropriate and convenient location for all three countries.
