The participants in the tripartite negotiations on Ukraine should reconcile the differences in approaches to the resolution of the conflict. This assessment was voiced in a commentary for Lente.ru by Vadim Kozhulin, chief researcher at the Diplomatic Academy of MGIMO University of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to Kozhulin, the progress in solving the Ukrainian conflict is currently complicated by serious contradictions in the public positions of the parties. The political scientist noted that the United States still adheres to the right of countries to independently choose military alliances, while Russia insists on the inadmissibility of strengthening the security of certain countries at the expense of others.
