This variant of meetings is described as a "side channel" for communication during the transition period after the victory of President Donald Trump in the election on November 5. Journalists emphasize that only a small number of advisers to US President Donald Trump know about meetings in Switzerland. According to the publication, participants of the meetings have diplomatic and security experience, but they are not civil servants.
It is currently unclear whether they were delegated to negotiate. Participants and other details remain unknown. At least one meeting took place in Geneva during the Munich Security Conference, which took place from February 14 to February 16. The meeting was not disclosed before, and representatives of the United States, Russia and Ukraine do not comment on the situation.
One of the Reuters interlocutors suggested that non -public meetings in Switzerland have lost their relevance because representatives of the United States and Russia have established an official dialogue. It should be reminded that on February 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh negotiated American and Russian delegations. Russian President Vladimir Putin praised their result. He assured that he was ready to meet with Donald Trump, but the meeting should be prepared.
