Officials from Donald Trump’s administration will meet this week in Saudi Arabia not only with a Ukrainian delegation but also with Russian representatives, CNN reported, citing a source familiar with the plans.
According to the source, the meeting with the Russian delegation will be held separately from the talks with Ukraine.
The source did not specify who would take part in the discussions. The exact date of the Washington-Moscow meeting was also not disclosed.
Update: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denied the reports, telling TASS that no new round of talks between Russia and the United States is planned in Saudi Arabia this week. She added that “no such information has been received from the American side either.”
Talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials are scheduled for March 11 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
