The second round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul on Monday ended in less than an hour after killing Russia’s nuclear skilled bombers a day ago.
With any explanation of the delay, the negotiations have begun about two hours after the schedule.
Although the environment was dominant and the dialogue was short, the talks signed a new prisoner exchange, and Ukraine said another round of talks was on the agenda.
In Russia, before the talks began, the angry war bloggers demanded Moscow that Ukraine on Sunday conducted a horrific retaliation against Kiev after launching its most expensive attack on the war.
Ukraine and Russia have clearly released various reviews about the damage to Russia’s strategic bombers – which is an important factor in its nuclear weapons – but it was clear from the publicly available satellite imagery that Moscow suffered some severe damage to goods.
“The eyes of the whole world are focused on the contacts here,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hawkin Faden told the Russian and Ukrainian delegation at the beginning of the talks when they faced against each other on the sides of the room in the palace of Syregan by Bosphorus.
He said the purpose of the meeting was to review the situation of ceasefire, discuss possible meeting between Russian and Ukrainian presidents and see more opportunities for prisoner exchange.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustam Amrov, who led the Kiev delegation, announced after the talks that a new prisoner was agreed to follow the largest prisoner of war in the last round of talks on the exchange.
He said the new exchange would be focused on those who were seriously injured and youth in the war.
Omarov also said that Moscow has handed over its draft peace agreement to Ukraine and that Kiev, which has prepared its version, will review the Russian document.
Ukraine has proposed further talks before the end of June, but he believes that only the meeting between Ukrainian President Woldmeer Zelinsky and Russian President Vladimir Putin could resolve many issues of the dispute.
Zilnsky’s Chief of Staff, André Yarmak, said that Kiev’s delegation had entrusted a list of children, which was said to have been deported to Russia and what he wanted back. Moscow says such children were shifted to protect them from fighting.
On Monday, the two sides were expected to discuss a complete ceasefire between US President Donald Trump’s pressure and a long -term path to peace, which said that if no progress was made, the United States could abandon its role as a mediator.
But Omarov said Kiev was unable to react to Russia’s proposals for peace because he only saw them on Monday.
Lower expectations
Although the two countries, for various reasons, want to keep Trump in the peace process, had low expectations for progress on Monday.
Ukraine describes Russia’s historical approach as an attempt to force it to support it – which Kiev says he will never do – while Moscow, who proceeded to the fastest rate in six months in May, says Russian should be presented for peace on the terms of peace or losing more territory.
Putin set his preliminary terms for the immediate end of the war last June: Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and withdraw all its troops from the entire area of four Ukrainian territories, which has been claimed and mostly under Russia.
According to a proposed roadmap prepared by Ukraine, a copy of which a copy was seen by Writers, Kiev does not want any restrictions on its military power after any peace deal, nor is it an international recognition of Russian sovereignty on some parts of Ukraine through Moscow forces, and it wants it.
Russia currently controls only fifth of Ukraine, or under about 113,100 square kilometers, about the same size as the US state of Ohio.
Putin sent thousands of troops to Ukraine on February 24, 2022, after eight years of fighting between Russian -backed separatists and Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine.
The United States says more than 1.2 million people have been killed and injured in the war since 2022.
Trump has described Putin as “crazy” and has put Zilnski in public in the Oval Office, but the US president has also said that he believes peace is achieved and if Putin is delayed, he can impose strict sanctions on Russia.
