March 13 (Reuters) – President ⁠Volodymyr ⁠Zelenskiy was ⁠quoted as saying ​on Friday the U.S. had ‌sought a postponement ‌of the ⁠latest ⁠round of three-sided talks on a ​settlement to Ukraine’s four-year-old conflict with Russia.

Zelenskiy, ​whose comments were quoted by ⁠various Ukrainian ⁠media outlets ⁠at the ​end of a visit to ​France, ⁠said the U.S. side said its negotiators were not ⁠permitted to leave the United States in view ⁠of circumstances in the Middle East.

He said Russia had not wanted to hold the talks in the United States and had ⁠proposed alternative sites in Switzerland or Turkey.
