Peace talks in Istanbul have revealed the gap between Ukraine and Russia

Although the first high -level negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have been promised to make a big exchange of war prisoners from the first months of attacking the Moscow Keyvi in ​​2022, they have been shown to be far from accepting the actions they need to cease.

However, in the light of the announcement of the Turkish Foreign Minister, the two parties have accepted in principle to have additional discussions, and there is a possibility of a more diplomatic act that the move is trying to achieve a decisive act for US President Donald Trump.

Senior co -worker and Russian program director Peter Silizkin at the STEmpHS Center said that the promises of the negotiators to release 1,000 war prisoners and submit their attention to the ceasefire were “basic steps.”

According to Reuters, “I think this is a sign of hope, as it is an important development to enter both parties in direct contact.”

Ukraine, the United States and other Western countries have called for a 30 -day ceasefire without prior conditions to allow peace talks.

Russia, which controls nearly five Ukraine, does not show a great desire to give concessions, to duplicate the big demands, such as withdrawing Ukraine from 4 Ukrainian and identify Russian control over it, and that Kremlin is now in it unilaterally.

The balanced dialect has not contributed to both sides’ advertising after negotiating in reducing the gap between them or making significant progress.

Speaking to a Ukrainian diplomatic source Reuters, he said that the demands in Russia were “separated from reality, and anything that was discussed earlier.”

The source, which refused to name the sensitivity of the negotiations, said that the Ukrainian troops were withdrawn from their lands and warnings from “other conditions”.

After the negotiations, Chief Kremlin’s negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, suggested that Russia could continue to fight as much as needed to achieve its goals. He said that Kiev would only strengthen the reasons for its death by quoting military victory in the 21 -year war against Sweden in the eighteenth century during the Al -Kashra regime.

The trip begins

Instructions offering the United States and a counter -Europe and Ukraine last month, and the Reuters received it, which was close to the Peace Agreement Plan.

According to a large Ukrainian government sources, Kiev wants to get compensation in the latest Russian demands in Istanbul, identifying five areas of Ukraine as Russian and becoming a neutral country of Ukraine. Russian demands exceed the ones mentioned in the American or Ukrainian and European proposals.

One of the Ukrainian senior officials who participated in negotiations with Russia in 2022, failed to stop the comprehensive war, and the result of a conversation with Russia in Istanbul had come as an expected.

The source has been added: “Each trip begins with a phase, and it is a trip. The beginning of any exaggerated negotiations always sees demands and this is a traditional thing.”

Setback for penalties

The fragile results that result in the negotiations led to the return of the ball back to the Trump Stadium, which suddenly changed his place on Thursday, that is, one day before the beginning of negotiations, when he said that he was needed to meet Vladimir Putin.

The announcement is currently being eliminated by Europe to impose a new sanctions package on Washington Russia.

In the event of sanctions, it would be a milestone in the presidency of Trump, during which he was so sympathetic to Russia and withdrawing his front Joe Biden’s policies supporting Ukraine.

Leaders of 4 major European powers went to Keave last week, and threatened to impose more sanctions on Russia if they did not accept the ceasefire of 30 days, from May 12, they were a step back.

When Putin suggested to be in talks instead of ceasefire, Trump wrote a post on social media, in which Gelinski urged immediate approval without mentioning the expected sanctions on Russia, but for weeks, he had expressed his displeasure with what Putin had described it as a slowdown.

Gelinsky suggested direct discussions with Putin; Based on his interest in getting angry with Trump, but Putin did not respond to the last moments, a delegation that he had not covered or his prime ministers.

Commenting on the selection of the delegation as president, Russian political analyst Vladimir Bastagov said: “No one will send the cemetery to marriage,” he said.

After re -launching the negotiations in Istanbul, the leaders of the four European power and Gelinsky returned to communicate with Trump to discuss the progress of negotiations.

The Ukrainian team has publicly renewed the call for direct discussions between Gelinski and Putin, who is the only person who has the authority to make decisions regarding a large number of files.

In an interview with “Fox News”, Trump said he could reach “deal with Putin”, but we would impose sanctions on Russia if we did not enter into an agreement.
