Russia does not mind US joining Normandy Format

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the RF believes that the United States can join the Normandy Format and there are no contraindications to this. This was stated by Oleg Krasnitsky, Acting Director of the Third European Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, according to RIA Novosti.

Quote"This matter (the US joining the Normandy Format), it constantly sounds, in principle there are no contraindications to the US joining it, since they really have influence on Ukraine, and a lot depends on Washington's position in the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. In principle, if the United States is really ready to make its contribution, we have always been open to America's influence on Kyiv," he said.

According to him, earlier, during the presidency of Barack Obama, there were negotiating channels with the American side, and now they are being resumed.

Quote"Therefore, it is now a matter of technique, either within the Normandy Format or outside it, but the importance of the US position in internal Ukrainian regulation is always recognized, none of the professionals can deny this," the Russian MFA added.

Additionally. Recall that Moscow does not consider itself a party to the conflict in Donbas.
