The State Duma announced the space for progress in negotiations on Ukraine

The conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran may affect progress on the Ukrainian negotiating track. This opinion was expressed by State Duma deputy Alexei Chepa on Tuesday, March 10.

According to the politician, Kiev's Western partners have fewer resources to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

"Of course, the current conflict strongly affects the interests of Ukraine. At least the country may lose a number of weapons that it traditionally requests, since in the current conditions the United States is more focused on Iran," he said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

The parliamentarian stressed that, despite the pause in the trilateral negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States, a new round may take place in the near future.

"In the last conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, the topic of Ukraine, of course, was also discussed. And the next stage of negotiations may take place in the near future," concluded Chepa.
