- On Feb 16, the Kremlin said the main issues, including sensitive territory questions, will be discussed in Geneva this week with Russia, Ukraine and the United States on Tuesday and Wednesday.

- The Kremlin said `This time, the idea is to discuss a broader range of issues, including, in fact, the main ones. The main issues concern both the territories and everything else related to the demands we have put forward`, and Kirill Dmitriev will join an economic working group.
