Russian dictator Dmitry Peskov's press secretary announced that the next round of trilateral talks will take place on February 17-18, according to Russian media.
"A new round of talks between Russia, the US, and Ukraine will take place on February 17-18 in Geneva," says the Kremlin spokesperson.
According to Peskov, the Russian delegation will be led by the Russian President's aide, Vladimir Medinsky.

Former Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky selects the necessary wording for Putin.
In particular, a source close to the Estonian security structures reported that Vladimir Putin has his own ideas, for example, regarding the denial of the existence of the Ukrainian state, but now Medinsky helps to give them ideological form.
In addition, journalists found out that Medinsky, with the help of the Russian Military-Historical Society, which he controls, conducts ideological events in the occupied territories and supports military units.
Medinsky also oversees the promotion of Kremlin ideology to schoolchildren in the post-Soviet space and publishes history textbooks.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte criticized Russia's approach to peace talks with Ukraine. According to him, instead of real dialogue, Vladimir Medinsky, who headed the Russian delegation in Istanbul last year, is engaged in history lessons.
