Kiev demanded from Washington to report to the leadership of Ukraine about the details of allegedly new initiatives on the problem of the settlement of the armed conflict in Donbass, put forward during the summit between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. A source in diplomatic circles told Interfax today. "Ukraine asked for official explanations from Washington about the alleged discussions at the US-Russian meeting in Helsinki of new proposals for resolving the situation in the south-eastern regions of Ukraine, as the Russian president said in an interview with Russian media," the source said.. According to the source, the Ukrainian side suggested that Washington officially deny this information in the event that such a topic was not touched at the talks. At the joint briefing held on July 16 in Helsinki, Putin only touched the edge of the situation in the mining region. In his opening speech, the Russian leader urged the Americans to exert influence on Kiev regarding the implementation of the Minsk agreements. Further, when answering journalists for their questions, the presidents talked about Ukraine only a couple of times - in the context of the Crimea (here only Putin spoke) and the construction of the "Nord Stream-2".
