Ukraine Renews Demand to See Russia's Peace Terms
- Ukraine expressed willingness to engage in additional negotiations with Russia scheduled to take place in Istanbul the following week, while insisting that Moscow provide its peace proposals in writing beforehand.
- This follows May 16 negotiations, the first direct talks in over three years, which produced only prisoner exchanges and promises to remain engaged.
- Russia proposes presenting a memorandum detailing its conditions, including Ukraine abandoning NATO ambitions and ceding about a fifth of its territory, while continuing military attacks.
- Ukrainian officials, including Foreign Ministry spokesperson Georgiy Tykhy, say Russia’s refusal to share the memorandum suggests it contains unrealistic ultimatums, a view rejected by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as non-constructive.
- The ongoing conflict, now three years old with tens of thousands killed, faces possible US withdrawal from mediation and additional sanctions, while UN and Turkish leaders urge continued dialogue despite low chances for peace.
