Russia -ukraine met for the first time after three years under the pressure of Trump, peace expectations are misty – Russian and Ukrainian negotiators meet in Turkey for the first direct talks led in 3 years NTC
Three years later, Russia and Ukraine had face -to -face talks for the first time in Istanbul, Türkiye. The first direct peace talks that started in 2022 between Russia and Ukraine in 2022 suddenly ended in less than two hours, with a consensus to the exchange of 1,000 to 1,000 prisoners, but there was no concrete progress towards the ceasefire.
The conversation took place in the middle of American pressure to end the most deadly struggle in Europe since the Second World War. According to the Associated Press, the two parties described this enormous exchange of prisoners as a positive step, but East Europe has been covered for more than three years and has a deep disagreement between the two parties under the basic conditions necessary to prevent this struggle.
Ukrainian request
The spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hiorahi Tikhi, said: “We have not heard” yes “on the basic question of the ceasefire of Russia so far. If you want to have a serious conversation, weapons will first have to be silent.”
On the other hand, Vladimir Medinski, head of the Russian delegation, who is the adviser to President Vladimir Putin, has taken a relatively optimistic position. He said: “We are satisfied with the results of the conversation”, and also added that Moscow was ready to continue the dialogue even more. He agreed to exchange detailed proposals of ceasefies with kyiv.
Declaration of the Minister of Turkish Foreign Affairs
The meeting held in the magnificent Turkish dolmabahe palace was launched by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. He called on both sides of the ceasefire and said that this dialogue from Istanbul can become the foundation of a possible meeting of the leaders of the two countries.
Fidan said: “There are two ways before us – one towards peace and the other towards more destruction. The two sides must decide which path they choose.” The meeting took place at a time when Ukraine invited Putin to a direct conversation, but only a team of average level officials was sent by Russia. In response, Ukraine also sent the same level negotiators.
The terms of interaction by the Ukrainian delegation include 30 days of ceasefire, the Ukrainian children with force withdraw and exchange all war. Russia has expressed his desire for talks, but at the same time, he also expressed his concern that Ukraine could take this opportunity to reorganize his soldiers and raise Western weapons.
The absence of Putin
It was Putin who proposed direct talks to Turkey, but he rejected the challenge of the Ukrainian president Volodimir Jailonski to meet him personally and rather sent a team of average level officers. Ukraine has appointed the same ranking negotiators in response.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump’s Ukrainian Messenger Keith Kelog were also in Istanbul, where several different diplomatic contacts were established on Friday. Rubio speaking to the media Thursday evening said that on the basis of the level of discussion teams, no major success is likely.
What are the conditions of the two countries
Meanwhile, Russia claimed to have captured another village in eastern Ukraine and a few minutes before the meeting of Istanbul, the news of the explosions in the Ukrainian city Donipro is required that Ukraine is intended to join NATO and declares itself a “neutral country”. But Ukraine described it as a surrender and demanded a future security guarantee under American leadership.
The army of Ukraine claims that Russia has so far deployed about 6.4 Lakh of soldiers in Ukraine and that this war has now become a policy of exhaustion. Millions of soldiers have been two years old and millions of citizens must leave their homes.
