Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in a conflict for the past three years. On Friday, the Kremlin announced that a draft agreement negotiated in 2022 could serve as a basis for talks aimed at ending the conflict. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, stated that this document, which was discussed in Istanbul, could be used to start negotiations.
In September 2022, Russia annexed four Ukrainian regions, which Kyiv and its Western allies consider illegal. Putin has rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s peace formula, which involves the withdrawal of Russian troops, compensation to Ukraine, and international trials for Kremlin actions. However, Putin claims that Russia’s intervention in Ukraine is necessary to protect its interests and prevent Kyiv from joining NATO.
The document discussed in Istanbul included provisions for Ukraine’s neutral status and limitations on its armed forces. Despite ongoing disagreements between Russia and Ukraine regarding the terms of peace talks, there is hope that negotiations based on this draft agreement could lead to progress towards resolving the conflict between these two countries.
