It is reported by Politico with reference to representatives of the US administration.

“The State Department is preparing the ground for possible peace talks between Ukraine and Russia,” the source said.

It is noted that the US authorities intend to conduct consultations on the issue of negotiations jointly and in close coordination with Kyiv.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that it was possible to achieve the goals of the special operation in Ukraine through peaceful negotiations, but now they are impossible because of the position of Kyiv.

In October, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he did not want to engage in dialogue with the Russian authorities.

According to him, Kyiv is ready for negotiations with Moscow, but if there is another president in Russia.

US President Joe Biden said that the United States would not negotiate on the situation in Ukraine without the participation of Kyiv.
