MINSK, 17 February (BelTA) - Negotiations between representatives of Russia, the USA, and Ukraine in Geneva will be held behind closed doors, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

“Naturally, everything will be closed to the press,” he said.

“I don’t think we should expect any news today because, as you know, work is scheduled to continue tomorrow. We have no plans to make any statements or remarks,” the Kremlin spokesman noted.

A new round of trilateral negotiations to resolve the Ukrainian crisis begins in Geneva on 17 February. As a TASS source previously stated, the negotiations will proceed along at least five tracks. “These are primarily territorial, military, political, and importantly, economic issues and also various aspects of security,” the source said. The meetings in Geneva will continue the trilateral consultations between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine, the first two rounds of which took place in Abu Dhabi on 23-24 January and on 4-5 February.
