Ukraine and Russia are very far away in the first direct discussion, but the prisoner swap agreed

For more than three years of the most deadly war of Europe from 45.45, a small step for democracy on Friday has passed.

For the first time since March 7, the delegation in Ukraine and Russia came face to face – a month after Moscow invaded his neighbor. The setting was a palace of the Turk-era on the shore of Bosfzorus in Istanbul.

Turkey and US pressure and encouragement helped the fighter parties there.

There were no handshakes, and half of the Ukrainian delegation was tired of military exhaustion – a reminder that their country was being attacked.

In the room, Ukrainian, Turkish and Russian flags – two – and a large flower system – there were flowers far from scattered cities and the swollen cemetery in Ukraine.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told the delegation that there are two ways – one road leading to peace and the other led to death and destruction.

The discussion lasted less than two hours and soon a sharp division emerged. According to Ukrainian officials officials, Kremlin made “new and unacceptable demands.” In it, Kiev withdrew his army from a large part of his own region, he said, he said in exchange for warning.

There was no success on the important topic of war – as expected – news of a tangible effect.

Each side will return 1000 prisoners of war to the other side.

Ukraine’s Protection Serie Kislitsya and “Possible News for Ukrainian Family” Ukraine’s Deputy Minister said, “It was a good ending of the day.

Ukraine Defense Minister Rustem Umrov said Ukraine Defense Minister Rustem Umirov, who led his country’s representative. They said, “We know the date,” we are not yet announcing. “

He said that “the next step” should have a meeting between Zelensky and Putin.

The request was made “renowned”, according to the head of the Russian representative Vladimir Medinsky. He said that the Russian delegation was satisfied with the discussion and ready to continue the contact.

The change took place on Thursday when the Russian Foreign Ministry called President Zelensky “Joker and defeated.”

But there is a fear – in Ukraine and some of its associates – that Russia is involved in diplomacy only to buy time, distract from international pressure of war, and try the 18th round of European approval. The European Union says they are already at work.

And both sides are now sitting on the table, while President Trump has said that only the counting between him and President Putin will be discussed.

On Thursday, he announced the mid-daddan on Air Force One, “Nothing will happen until Putin and I come together.”

It is unclear when the meeting will take place. Kremlin spokesperson Dimitri Pacekov says high-level discussions “definitely needed”, but it will take time to create a peak.

Whenever these discussions take place, it is unlikely to invite President Zelensky.
