Euro-Atlantic security is currently at stake in Ukraine, therefore Ukraine should take part in U.S., EU or NATO security consultations on the matter.

“We support the idea of the US, the EU, NATO talking to Russia as long as the primary topic is ending the international armed conflict, Russia’s war on Ukraine. Euro-Atlantic security is at stake in Ukraine, therefore Ukraine should be part of security consultations on the matter,” Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba posted on Twitter.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the final press conference on December 23 that the talks with "American partners" on security issues could be held at the beginning of next year in Geneva. According to him, "representatives from both sides have been appointed."

The United States said that the date and venue of talks with Russia in the format of a strategic dialogue had not yet been determined, thus refuting Putin's words about the alleged agreement to hold consultations in Geneva next month.
