Talks between Russia and the United States, described as intense yet productive, are set to continue with the involvement of the United Nations and other countries, according to Grigory Karasin, a member of the Russian delegation.

Karasin, a Russian senator and former diplomat, emphasized that while the discussions were challenging, they were also valuable for both sides. "Everything was discussed—there was an intense, challenging dialogue, but it was very useful for us and for the Americans," he told the TASS news agency. He added that a broad range of issues had been addressed during the talks.

Looking ahead, Karasin indicated that the dialogue would extend beyond the U.S. and Russia, with international cooperation being key. "We will continue to do this, involving the international community, first of all, the United Nations and individual countries," he said, suggesting that other nations would play a role in future negotiations.

The Russian negotiator also shared a positive assessment of the discussions, noting, "In general, the impression was of a constructive dialogue, which is needed and necessary. The Americans are also interested in this."

A draft joint statement between the U.S. and Russia has been sent for approval, with both sides expected to release it on Tuesday. The statement is expected to outline progress in the ongoing talks, which are seen as crucial for addressing the broader issues in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
