It is reported that the US representative at the meeting was interested in two key points.
Meeting of special representative of the US state Department in Ukraine Kurt Volker and assistant to the President Vladislav Surkov in Belgrade ended without reaching any specific agreements.
The meeting consisted of three parts. The first lunch; then – tete-a-tete that lasted more than hours; finally, the communication with the members of their delegations.
In the course of negotiations Volcker was interested in two key points. First, whether Russia is ready in principle to move towards the settlement of the Donbas, the second time before or after the election of the President of Russia, which is scheduled for March 2018.
Surkov almost literally said that “Putin would like to look like a peacemaker,” sources say. Regarding the dates in Moscow have not given clear signals.
Also Putin aide insisted that the activities of UN peacekeepers, the introduction of which to the Donbass discussed in the security Council of the Organization, should not apply to the Russian-Ukrainian border. While Kiev insists on this point.
Earlier it was reported that the US and Russia have agreed on a new meeting Volker and Surkov.
Negotiations Volcker and Surkov took place on 7 October in the Serbian capital Belgrade. This meeting was the second.
Earlier, representatives of the United States and Russia met in Minsk on August 21.
