Russia’s Demands in Peace Talks
During recent peace negotiations in Istanbul, Russian negotiators presented a significant demand to Ukraine. They insisted that Ukraine must withdraw its troops from all territories claimed by Moscow prior to agreeing to any ceasefire. This revelation comes from a senior Ukrainian official who spoke to Reuters about the discussions.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has seen various attempts at establishing peace. However, the conditions set forth by Russia may complicate the situation further. Observers are keenly watching how Ukraine will respond to these demands and what implications they hold for the future of the negotiations.
