Quote: "Undoubtedly, Switzerland as the host venue will play a role in ensuring the safe arrival of the delegations."

Details: It is reported that the Russian delegation will include at least 15 people. In particular, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin will take part in the negotiations, and the delegation will be headed by Putin's aide Vladimir Medinsky.

Background:

  • On 13 February, the Kremlin stated that the Russian delegation at the talks would be headed by Putin's aide Vladimir Medinsky. It should be noted that Medinsky was not part of the Russian negotiating team when the trilateral talks resumed at the beginning of the year in the UAE.
  • The new round of talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia in Geneva on 17-18 February was announced by Rustem Umierov, the head of the Ukrainian delegation.
  • Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the teams would discuss the territorial issue during the new round of negotiations.
  • On the night of 15-16 February, Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Ukrainian President's Office, reported that the Ukrainian delegation had departed for the negotiations in Geneva.
