U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described the trilateral talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine, held on Tuesday in the United Arab Emirates, as “very productive.”
However, Rubio stressed that despite the progress made during the meeting, considerable work remains before an agreement can be reached to end the war in Ukraine.
Speaking after the talks, the head of U.S. diplomacy said one of the objectives for the next stages of negotiations would be to expand the format to include representatives from additional European countries.
The proposed expansion would bring more European voices into the diplomatic process as efforts continue to find a resolution to the conflict.
