The next phase of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine could take place in Geneva, according to US envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg.
Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Kellogg said the talks would move forward once Moscow submits its peace proposal, following a recent exchange of terms between the two sides.

“The US will combine both proposals to identify common ground and acceptable compromises,” Kellogg said, adding that once Russia’s document is received, the next meeting will be scheduled.
