Ukrainian negotiator Umerov says Kyiv coordinated positions with US, Europe in talks with security advisers

Dec 31 (Reuters) - Top Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov said on Wednesday that Kyiv coordinated positions with the United States and its European allies in telephone talks with security advisers.

Umerov, writing on Telegram, said he "reported" to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the telephone talks. An account by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Zelenskiy took part in the discussions.

"We coordinated positions and planned further meetings with European and American partners in January," Umerov wrote. Work would continue in the New Year to produce "tangible" results in work to resolve the war pitting Ukraine against Russia.
