World March 17, 18:27

The chief of European diplomacy said the EU has met with US negotiators to voice "different elements that could be brought up by the Russians"

BRUSSELS, March 17. /TASS/. The European Union is looking for a way to join the negotiations on Ukraine, but it does not see how it can do that at this point, said chief of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas.

"We are discussing this matter with different interlocutors," she said, when asked about potential participation of the Union in negotiations between Russia and the US on a peace deal in Ukraine. "It is right now a really shuttle diplomacy, because there is no negotiation table [which could be used by EU representatives]."

She said the EU has met with US negotiators to voice "different elements that could be brought up by the Russians."

Earlier, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that President Vladimir Putin will speak with US leader Donald Trump on March 18, but did not disclose what their conversation would touch upon.
