Representatives of the Ukrainian delegation \u2014 Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya, and Deputy Chief of the Defence Intelligence Directorate Vadym Skibitskyi \u2014 briefed journalists on the outcome of the talks with the Russian delegation in Turkey.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0frussia did not agree to a ceasefire or a leaders\u2019 summit; the only progress was an arrangement on a prisoner exchange.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fIf russians were truly ready for a ceasefire, their aircraft would not have been blown up.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fOn prisoners, both sides agreed to focus on three categories in an \u201call-for-all\u201d format: (1) the seriously ill and severely wounded, (2) young soldiers aged 18 to 25, and (3) the remains of fallen troops on a \u201c6,000 for 6,000\u201d basis.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fUkraine pressed for the release of Ukrainian children whom russia illegally deported from the temporarily occupied territories.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fThe Ukrainian side received russia\u2019s \u201cmemorandum\u201d only today; the teams will have one week to study the documents, after which they will coordinate next steps.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fAll key issues can be resolved only at a meeting of the leaders; further work of the negotiating group makes sense only if it prepares such a summit.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fUkraine calls for genuine efforts to stop the war.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fKyiv wants European and U.S. partners fully integrated into the negotiation process.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fA ceasefire is the foundation for future talks aimed at a durable peace.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fUkraine proposed holding another meeting with russia between 20 and 30 June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
