The issue of involving representatives of European countries in the negotiation process to resolve the conflict in Ukraine was not discussed during a meeting in Moscow with US President’s special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
“As far as the Russian Foreign Ministry is aware, this issue was not discussed during the talks with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow,” she said, commenting on Kushner’s statement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to expand the next round of negotiations to include European partners.
According to the US negotiator, this would make it possible to discuss future European security issues alongside territorial issues between Moscow and Kyiv.
