OREANDA-NEWS  Negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine are the most important for European security this century, the Washington Post writes, citing an unnamed NATO diplomat.

"I think it's fair to say that these are the most important negotiations for European security in this century," the publication quotes the diplomat as saying.

The US administration previously announced the development of a plan for the Ukrainian settlement. The Kremlin said that Russia remains open to negotiations and remains on the platform of discussions in Anchorage.
