White House national security adviser Mike Waltz says negotiators are discussing ‘confidence-building measures’ including the return of Ukrainian children.
U.S. and Russian negotiators are holding talks in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, on Monday to discuss a partial cease-fire in Ukraine.
White House national security adviser Mike Waltz told the “Face the Nation” program on CBS on Sunday that the U.S., Russian, and Ukrainian delegations were all in the same building in Riyadh.
Waltz said the negotiators would also discuss “the line of control” in Ukraine, and “verification measures, peacekeeping, freezing the lines where they are.”
He said “confidence-building measures,” including the possible return of Ukrainian children taken by Russia, were also being discussed.
Ukrainian negotiators are set to meet the U.S. team separately, following its talks with the Russian delegation.
