Ukraine's Acting Foreign Minister Andriy Deschytsia has said that as far as he knows Russia has made no final decision yet on whether it will take part in the four-party talks over the Ukrainian crisis in Geneva on April 17.
“Today I have confirmation of the U.S. and European attendance. As
far as I understand, Mr. Lavrov has yet to make a final decision,
because Russia set an ultimatum over the unacceptability of the use of
force against protestors in the eastern regions of Ukraine,” Deschytsia
said at a briefing on Wednesday.
It is not ruled out that the meeting could be held in a tripartite
format, and Kyiv is ready for such a possibility as well, he said.
