USA and Russia: Behind-the-scenes diplomacy in Ukraine conflict
The USA and Russia conducted secret talks in Switzerland over the past few months about the war in Ukraine. These meetings were unofficial and took place in Switzerland. Details of the discussions remain unknown, but the goal was to improve communication between the parties.
Representatives of the USA and Russia met in Switzerland to discuss the situation in Ukraine unofficially. According to the agency Unian, the latest meeting took place last week. These talks aimed to create an additional communication channel between the parties.
According to "Unian" sources, the talk participants are individuals with diplomatic experience but do not hold government positions. It is not clear who initiated these meetings or whether Ukrainian representatives participated. These informal meetings served as a platform for exchanging ideas rather than developing concrete proposals.
One source suggests that these talks may have lost significance because the USA and Russia have established official channels of dialogue.
Previous talks held in 2023 and early 2024 did not yield concrete results. However, after the meeting in Saudi Arabia on February 18, the parties agreed to establish teams to work on ending the conflict.
