Rubio Declined To Meet With Russian Delegation In Istanbul

A reason has been given.

US foreign policy chief Marco Rubio has refused to meet with Russian negotiators in Istanbul because the Kremlin sent a lower-level delegation to Turkey.

This statement of the Secretary of State is quoted by CNN.

"They sent a lower-level delegation here," the US diplomacy chief said, explaining his decision.

He expressed hope that the talks will be held between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations with the participation of the Turkish side, as well as someone from the American team - "at the appropriate level."

Rubio, on May 16, intends to meet with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga, as well as representatives of the Ukrainian delegation. The secretary of state added that if direct talks between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations were to take place, they would not be at the level that Washington had hoped for.
