Jared Kushner on progress in the negotiation process:
In recent talks on Ukraine, new ideas for settlement have emerged - some of them could become breakthroughs, Kushner said.
What else did he say?
The parties to the settlement, in private talks, express willingness to make concessions.
The US focuses on organizing direct interaction between Russia and representatives of the European Union.
NATO is an important part of European security, so the EU must be directly included in the negotiations on Ukraine.
