KIEV, May 27 (RIA Novosti) Kiev will hold talks with Moscow only with EU and US representatives present at the negotiating table, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said Tuesday.
In the current circumstances, bilateral negotiations [between Ukraine and Russia] without the presence of the United States and the European Union are not possible, Yatseniuk said.
The interim prime minister said that Russia's position during talks had frequently changed, and therefore to guarantee successful negotiations the presence of EU and US representatives was required.

(269,024 posts)because Ukraine is not part of the EU. We both know this is about destroying Russia because they refuse to cave at the UN - re Iran, Syria and much more.
You know that India lost out big time when the SU collapsed. Should be interesting to see where Modi lines up because an India-Russia-China alliance could be very interesting in terms of this planet's balance of power.
