MOSCOW – Russian state newspaper Izvestia reported Thursday that diplomatic negotiations between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine have been temporarily suspended due to warfare involving Iran, according to Russian government sources.
The Moscow-based publication stated that Kremlin officials confirmed the suspension and suggested that Iran’s military involvement could influence Ukraine to adopt a more flexible negotiating stance.
According to the report, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov indicated that while Russian presidential representative Kirill Dmitriev will maintain his focus on investment and economic partnerships, the three-nation diplomatic discussions have been put on hold.
“Kirill Dmitriev continues work. The trilateral group is on pause,” Peskov stated, as reported by Izvestia.
