Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha insists that before Ukraine sends a delegation for peace talks in Turkey, it needs to see a document specifying Russia's ceasefire proposals. This stance emerges after a previous meeting in Istanbul ended unsuccessfully, highlighting Ukraine's demand for genuine assurances from Russia. Sybiha's comments underline Ukraine's urgency to put an end to the conflict, while also expressing skepticism about the Kremlin's intentions, particularly noting the lack of a substantive ceasefire proposal preceding the talks.
In order for the next planned meeting to be substantive and meaningful, it is important to receive a document in advance so the delegation that will attend has the authority to discuss the relevant positions.
Ukraine expressed disappointment after the talks, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying it was a sign of disrespect that Russia had sent a junior delegation that was not authorised to sign a ceasefire.
