Russia-Ukraine Talks: Energy Truce and Territorial Issues on Agenda in Geneva

Negotiations on Ukraine set to take place in Geneva will address a broader range of issues than previous rounds held in Abu Dhabi, including territorial matters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. Broader Agenda in Geneva According to Peskov, the expanded agenda explains the participation of presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who will head the Russian delegation. "Medinsky remains the head of our negotiating delegation. Why did he not participate in the previous two rounds? Because those meetings focused on security matters and issues directly related to the military. At that time, our group was led by Admiral Igor Kostyukov, head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, and consisted primarily of military representatives. This time, a broader range of issues is to be discussed, including the main questions — those concerning territories and other key matters,” Peskov said.
