Connecting the United States to negotiations on the settlement of the conflict in the Donbass should help move the process from the deadlock.

This was stated in the commentary to the "Observer" by an international expert, senior researcher at the National Institute for Strategic Studies Andrei Karakuts.

"For Ukraine, the US connection at this stage will be quite profitable. Everyone sees that this conflict within the framework of the Norman format remains frozen and American leadership, if it is, should help move the deadlock. At least to stop the shelling, "- said Karakuts.

At the same time, the internationalist reminded that Washington will not be able to take direct part in the negotiations without the consent of Russia.

"If the Russian Federation itself does not see in this sense, then it will not be possible to conduct such negotiations. For Russia, it will be important whether any other related issues will be discussed at the same time: Crimea, Syria and t. D ", - added Karakuts.

As reported by the "Observer", the US was told about the plans of the White House to restart talks with the Russian Federation on the resolution of the armed conflict in the Donbass.
