"The next round of negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement will take place in the trilateral Russian-American-Ukrainian format on February 17-18 in Geneva," Peskov announced.
Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky will lead the delegation, the spokesman added.
Ukraine peace process
In late January and early February, closed-door talks of a security working group involving representatives from Moscow, Kiev, and Washington were held in Abu Dhabi. The sides discussed unresolved issues related to the peace plan proposed by the United States.
Following the second round, Russia and Ukraine conducted a prisoner exchange under a “157 for 157” formula.
The Kremlin noted that the United States acknowledged that a long-term settlement would be unlikely without resolving territorial issues based on the formula agreed on at the Alaska summit. According to Moscow, the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbass remains a key condition.
