Days long conversations in Saudi Arabia between the US and Russia about a ceasefire in the Ukraine war were “difficult” but “constructive,” said a Russian officer.
Grigory Karasin, member of the Russian delegation and head of the International Committee of the Federation Council, gave the update to the Ria news agency.
“A very interesting, difficult, but fairly constructive conversation took place with the American expert team. They sat all day from the morning until late in the night,” said Karasin on Tuesday morning.
The delegations discussed the technical details of a ceasefires about energy -infrastructure agreed by Moscow and Kiev, and mediated by Washington, and a potentially maritime striking -the fire in the Black Sea.
They met on Monday in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Riyad for 12 hours. A joint statement about the meeting is expected on Tuesday, Ria reported.
As the Russians return home, the US will now start conversations in Saudi Arabia with Ukraine.
