Switzerland's role in the negotiations on a peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine is to ensure the access and security of the delegations participating in them. This was reported to RIA Novosti on February 16 by a diplomatic source.

"Switzerland's role, as always in the negotiations it hosts as part of its good offices, is to ensure the access and security of delegations," he said.

On February 16, the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov (listed in the Russian Federation as a terrorist and extremist), announced the dispatch of a Ukrainian delegation to Geneva, where a new round of negotiations with Russia and the United States is expected.

The next trilateral meeting of Russia, the United States and Ukraine to resolve the crisis will be held on February 17-18. At the same time, Switzerland confirmed its readiness to host three hundred. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified earlier, the Russian delegation at the meeting will be headed by Presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky.

According to him, Geneva was chosen for the meeting, as this place was considered appropriate and convenient for all three states. Peskov also noted that there would be no Europeans at the talks. He also ruled out the participation of international organizations.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said on February 15 that the Russian side had toughened its position in negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement after the attack on the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
