Quote: "The Russians want to draw associations with the year 2022. But the only thing that connects today’s negotiations to that period is the city of Istanbul — nothing more. All attempts by Russia to link the current moment to 2022 will fail," Yermak said.
Details: He stressed that the current negotiation process has a different context, and Ukraine will not allow a return to the conditions and narratives of the start of Russia’s war of aggression.
Background:
- On Friday, a meeting of representatives from Türkiye, the United States and Ukraine began in Istanbul. A meeting with the representatives of Ukraine and the Russian Federation also began.
- US President Donald Trump said there will be no progress in peace talks on Ukraine until he personally meets with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he does not believe that the negotiations between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Istanbul will lead to any breakthrough.
