US-brokered Ukraine peace talks reaching point of exhaustion, Kyiv says

KYIV: US-brokered talks with Russia are gradually reaching ​the point of exhaustion, Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said on Friday, adding that European engagement ‌could bring ‌a ​new ‌dynamic ⁠to ​the process.
“My ⁠impression is that this format is gradually reaching the point where discussions possible ⁠at this level ‌are ‌becoming exhausted. At ​times, ‌the same issues ‌end up being discussed several times over,” he told reporters via ‌Zoom.
Sybiha added that European engagement is ⁠one ⁠of the ways to reinvigorate the process.
Another option, he added, is meeting at the leaders’ level, which Ukraine has been ​pressing ​for.
