Russia is waiting for proposals for negotiations on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, but has no big illusions. This was stated by the head of the Russian foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov at the International festival of youth.
“We will wait for proposals. But let me say this with confidence: we do not harbor big illusions. We are ready for bilateral negotiations and trilateral negotiations. They have never been abandoned, Lavrov said. He noted that all the negotiation processes that were previously organized were interrupted not at the initiative of the Russian side.
According to the minister, the American side expects a trilateral format. Regarding the potential venue for the meeting, he noted that "anything that is acceptable to the negotiators is possible.".
US President Donald Trump’s special envoys Stephen Whitkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and Kiev on September 5 and 6. They outlined new ideas for resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The American side appreciated the contacts positively. On September 9, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov called Abu Dhabi a priority platform for negotiations with Ukraine and the United States.
