The Ukrainian delegation is seeking a ceasefire and a troop
withdrawal during the peace talks with Russia.
Ukrainian Presidential Advisor, Mykhailo Podolyak disclosed
this on Monday.
He said Ukraine would be ready to talk about any neighbourly
relations and political settlements with Russia only after the implementation
of the country’s positions, NAN reports.
In a terse statement, Podolyak reiterated the need for peace and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
“Our positions remain unchanged: peace, immediate ceasefire,
withdrawal of all Russian troops,” Podolyak said.
The fourth round of negotiations between Ukrainian and
Russian delegations was scheduled for Monday via video link.
In-person talks held previously in Belarus and working group
discussions taking place in recent days, so far no breakthrough.
Both Kiev and Moscow have expressed cautious optimism in the
past day about the course of peace talks, even as Russia’s assault on Ukraine
intensifies.
“If we compare the two delegations’ positions at the talks
at the very beginning and today, we will see considerable progress,” Leonid
Slutsky, a Russian lawmaker specialising in foreign policy said.
