More about the trilateral talks

On March 3, in an interview with the Italian outlet Corriere Della Sera, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that the U.S. attack on Iran would not affect the trilateral negotiations with Russia. He also said that the next round was expected to take place on March 5 or 6.
On March 4, a source in the Ukrainian delegation told Suspilne that the next round of trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States had been postponed, with no exact date or venue yet determined.
Zelenskyy later confirmed that there are currently no necessary signals to hold a trilateral meeting due to the security situation around Iran.
