USA and Russia hold secret talks in Switzerland on Ukraine
The USA and Russia conducted secret talks in Switzerland over the past few months about the war in Ukraine. The meetings were unofficial and took place in Switzerland. The details of the discussions remain unknown, but the aim was to improve communication between the parties.
Representatives from the USA and Russia met in Switzerland to discuss the situation in Ukraine unofficially. According to the agency Unian, the most recent meeting occurred last week. These talks aimed to create an additional communication channel between the parties.
Sources cited by Unian mentioned that the participants in the talks have diplomatic experience but do not hold government positions. It is unclear who initiated these meetings nor whether Ukrainian representatives participated. These informal gatherings served as a platform for exchanging ideas rather than developing concrete proposals.
One source suggests that the significance of these talks may have diminished because the USA and Russia have established official channels of dialogue.
Previous discussions held in 2023 and early 2024 did not yield concrete results. However, after the meeting in Saudi Arabia on February 18, the parties agreed to create teams to work on ending the conflict.
