The two sides have held two rounds of peace negotiations so far this year
The secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), Rustem Umerov, has proposed holding a new round of talks with Russia next week, Vladimir Zelensky has announced. A source in Russia’s negotiating team has confirmed to RT that the offer was received.
The two sides have held two rounds of direct negotiations in Istanbul so far this year, with Umerov leading the Ukrainian delegation. At their most recent meeting in June, the negotiators exchanged draft proposals outlining their visions for a peace deal and agreed on further prisoner exchanges. Moscow has since confirmed its readiness to continue the talks.
“The pace of negotiations must be increased. Everything must be done to achieve a ceasefire,” Zelensky stated in his Saturday evening remarks.
