Zelensky welcomed Russia’s turnaround and highlighted positive steps in the negotiations

In a meeting in Moscow with his Belarusian ally Alexander LukashenkoPutin said the day before that now the negotiations take place “almost every day”, but he did not give more details.

Since the invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, three rounds of dialogue have been organized in Belarus, which have focused above all on the creation of humanitarian corridors for civilians.

On Thursday, the Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers met for the first time in Turkey since the attack began, but there was no progress towards a ceasefire.

“Our interests are to cease fire, to liberate our territories. And the third point is to resolve all humanitarian issues,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized the demands of Kiev.

The Kremlin, meanwhile, requests that its counterpart recognize Crimea as part of Russia (the peninsula was unilaterally annexed by Moscow in 2014) and the eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk as sovereign states, as Putin decreed before launch his offense.

On the other hand, it insists on the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine, as well as a promise of a status of neutral country that stops its entry into NATO.
