Russia and Ukraine, who have been in conflict for the last 32 days, may soon hold peace talks in Turkey. Both sides have agreed to talks this week. This meeting is likely to be held between March 28 and 30. This information was given by Ukrainian politician David Arkhamia through a Facebook post. Although, both the sides have discussed the current situation many times before, but till now no concrete issue has been agreed upon.
Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky has confirmed that the next peace talks will be held in Turkey. He said that the talks would start on Tuesday (29 March) and end on Wednesday (30 March). Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the two countries have reached an understanding on 4 out of 6 points.
Today is the 33rd day of the war between the two countries and Russia’s crackdown on the cities of Ukraine continues. It is reported that Russia is now trying to capture the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. These two regions are collectively called the Donbass region. Since 2014, the region has been partially occupied by Russian-backed separatists. Russia-backed separatists call the regions of Ukraine the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic.
Ahead of discussions between the two countries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Russian news organizations that his country was seriously studying Russia’s demand for “fairness”. During earlier meetings, Russia had called for Kyiv to be neutral or neutral like Austria or Sweden. The special thing is that international law states that neutral countries will treat all countries involved in the war fairly and at the same time refrain from giving any military cooperation.
