The situation is moving towards the conclusion of the war in Ukraine. This was stated by the assistant to the President of the Russian Federation, Yuri Ushakov, in a comment to Russian media. "I don’t know how close we are, but things are moving in that direction," he said, responding to a question about the prospects for ending the conflict. Ushakov also commented on new ideas that were discussed at a meeting of representatives from Ukraine, the United States, and Europe in Oslo. "Some nuances in the behavior of European leaders, in particular those who were present there - and representatives of other organizations, there was the European Commission, NATO - that is, some new nuances were felt by the Americans. They told us about this, but these nuances, so to speak, do not fully satisfy us," Ushakov said. He also expressed the opinion that in Europe, "they have started to think and approach the resolution of this crisis more seriously."
