Representatives of the United States and Russia have repeatedly met in Switzerland to discuss the possible end of the war in Ukraine. According to Reuters, these negotiations have taken place over the last months, including last week.
- The meetings were held in the format of unofficial dialogue, which discussed possible ways of ending the war.
- The participants were diplomats and experts on security issues who are not currently current civil servants.
- Although it is not known whether negotiators were in charge of governments, some Donald Trump advisers were informed of meetings.
- At least one meeting was held in Geneva during the Munich Security Conference.
Reuters notes that it is unclear whether representatives of Ukraine participated in the negotiations, as well as when these contacts began. The White House, the Ukrainian Government and the Russian Foreign Ministry did not comment on this information.
These negotiations became another communication channel between the US and Russia after the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election, which could affect Washington's further policy towards Ukraine.
