Kiev describes as difficult the fourth round of talks, which this time takes place in the form of video conferencing, however negotiators say they are advancing.
Deputy Chief of Staff to President Volodymyr Zelensky Ihor Zhovkva describes Moscow’s position as more constructive than ever. “Instead of giving us ultimatums or showing red lines, or asking Ukraine to capitulate, they seem more inclined towards constructive negotiations,” he said.
The other Ukrainian negotiator, Mykhailo Podolyak, also said earlier that he believes that within a few days, they will be able to achieve tangible results. Ukraine has expressed readiness to negotiate, but not to surrender or accept the ultimatum. President Volodymir Zelensky also said his teams are making efforts to arrange a meeting with Vladimir Putin to discuss achieving peace.
“I know it is a very difficult road, but it is also very necessary,” he said. Russia has previously demanded that Ukraine change its constitution to maintain neutrality so that it can no longer join NATO or the EU, recognize Crimea as Russian territory, and recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent territories. US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman also claimed that Russia was showing signs of willingness to get seriously involved in negotiations aimed at ending the conflict that has caused thousands of deaths and forced 2.5 million people to flee.
