"General Kellogg (the U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, - ed.) personally presented to me and the circle of European allies the negotiation tactics of the United States," said the Polish minister.
He noted that the U.S. plans for negotiations are "unorthodox," but "inspiring hope."
"I will not disclose them here. They inspire certain hopes. They are unorthodox, but we wish them luck," added the head of Poland's Foreign Ministry.
The U.S. does not see Europe at the negotiation table
The U.S. Special Representative Keith Kellogg stated that he does not see Europe physically at the negotiation table regarding Ukraine. However, he mentioned that European interests will be taken into account in the upcoming negotiations. Kellogg emphasized that the U.S. will act as mediators.
This sparked criticism among EU countries. The heads of foreign ministries of European Union countries held an emergency meeting in Munich and announced new initiatives regarding Ukraine. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron convened a summit on February 17 in Paris to discuss Europe’s position.
Commenting on Kellogg's statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine should decide for itself who will be at the negotiation table.
