Representatives of the United States and Russia are expected to discuss the security situation around Ukraine and NATO's activities in Europe.

"When we sit down to talk, Russia can put its concerns on the table, while we will also put on the table our concerns about Russia's actions. We will adhere to the principle of ‘nothing about our allies and partners without our allies and partners, including Ukraine.’ There will be areas where we can make progress and areas where we will have differences. That's what diplomacy is about," the Ukrainian service of the Voice of America was told.
