The meeting with the US envoy will take place on Monday, but the discussions will be held separately from parallel talks between the US and Russian representatives.
We want to reach an agreement on a ceasefire, at least on the points we have proposed, says a high-ranking source within Ukraine's leadership.
Ukraine is thus referring to proposals that civilian infrastructure and energy facilities should be included in a ceasefire, as well as targets in the Black Sea.
The Ukrainian delegation is led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, according to the source's information to the AFP news agency.
We must agree on one thing: what are the targets and how does the control work (in a ceasefire). The US has enormous intelligence capabilities – they see an enormous amount.
Russia has announced that Grigorij Karasin from the Russian Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee and Sergej Beseda, an adviser to the FSB intelligence service, will represent Moscow in the talks.
They are very experienced negotiators with enormous experience of this type of work, confirmed Kremlin spokesperson Dmitrij Peskov on Friday.
