Representatives of the United States and the European Union discussed possible a truce in Ukraine, and the discussion went without representatives of Ukraine, CNN reports with reference to sources in the White House.
The sources of the channel noted that the discussion participants were not able to develop a specific discussion framework, but in the White House they say that the United States will not put pressure on Ukraine in the issue of territorial concessions.
It is specified that Washington has not yet seen the prerequisites for the truce between Ukraine and the Union forces of Russia and the Republics of Donbass – however, another scenario is a tightening of the conflict. This will lead to an increase in problems in the global economy.
