Ukraine insists on efficiency of Geneva negotiating format - Yatsenyuk

KYIV. Nov 19 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian leadership believes the Geneva format of negotiations with Russia is the optimal one, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said.

"This is a common position of the Ukrainian head of state and head of government: the Geneva format, with the U.S.', the EU's, Russia's, and Ukraine's involvement, is the best and the most effective format for negotiations," Yatsenyuk said at a Cabinet meeting in commenting on recent remarks by Russian officials suggesting that the Geneva negotiating format is no longer relevant.
