The last Russian and American delegations met in Geneva in Switzerland on January 10 this year for negotiations on "security guarantees". Initially, Russian Presidential President Dmitry Peskov emphasized that he would not comment on widespread information about the meeting in Turkey. However, he later confirmed the negotiations. However, he did not provide additional information about the meeting. "Such negotiations were indeed. It was an initiative of the American side," he said.
Reuters, citing its own unnamed source, wrote that the CIA Director met with the Russian side. In doing so, the United States states that this cannot be called negotiations. William Burns has reportedly reported reports of Russia's use of nuclear weapons. "He does not negotiate. He does not discuss the settlement of the war in Ukraine," the official officially referred to the US edition. Burns also raised the issue of Americans detained in Russia at a meeting with the Russian delegation.
