The Washington administration believes that the tripartite format of the consultations on the Ukrainian settlement should be expanded at the expense of the US's European allies, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"This is actually our goal at some point to expand this triangle. So it's not just the US, Ukraine and Russia, but the Europeans are also represented at this table directly with these talks. So I hope they will be," he said. "They're not at the table yet, but we think they should be. ".
