Oleg Krasnitsky, Acting Director of the Third European Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that France and Germany are unlikely to object to the expansion of the “Normandy format” and the involvement of the United States.
“The issue of US involvement in the Normandy format is constantly being heard, and in principle there are no contraindications to US involvement, since they really affect Ukraine, and a lot depends on Washington’s position in resolving the conflict in Donbass. If the United States is really ready to make its own contribution, we have always been open to the fact that they exert their influence on Kiev”, he said.
According to the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, no one can deny the importance of the US position in internal Ukrainian regulation, since it is not hidden.
