WASHINGTON, March 6. /TASS/. US officials have discussed the country’s delegation to the future talks on resolving the Ukraine conflict and informed Russia on the matter, US Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff said.

"We've been in discussions with the national security advisor (Mike Waltz - TASS) this morning about who that name team will be. We've reached out to the Russians. We'll let the Ukrainians know as well," he told reporters at the White House.

When asked whether the US should at least provide Ukraine with "defensive weapons" during a pause in military aid, Witkoff said: "We've been giving them plenty. But I think the larger discussion for us is to get a peace deal done. We want to see peace.".
