Ukraine President Jailonsky and Russia President Vladimir Putin.
Istanbul: After a three -year long warfare, delegations from Russia and Ukraine will first meet in Istanbul of Turki for direct peace talks. The dialogue is taking place in the mediation of the Turkas, but experts and officials believe that the meeting is less expected of any concrete result towards the end of the war.
On behalf of Ukraine, the delegation will be led by Defense Minister Rustom Umerov, while the talks are being led by Russia, Vladimir Medinski, an associate of President Vladimir Putin. The international community is eyeing this meeting, although there is still doubt on the possibilities of real solution.
Putin offered to meet Zelanceci rejected
Peace efforts were shocked just before the talks, when Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly dismissed the proposal of a meeting with Ukraine President Volodimir Zelanski clearly. However, experts say that the possibilities of such a meeting were already very low.
Disagreement on ceasefire
Ukraine has theoretically accepted the 30-day full ceasefire scheme proposed by the US and European countries. But Putin has rejected it by adding rigorous and far -reaching conditions to this proposal, which has reduced the possibility of success of talks.
What is Russia-Ukraine War background
Significantly, the war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on since February 2022, in which thousands of citizens and soldiers have lost their lives, and millions of people have been displaced. Most of the talks so far have been held online or through third party. This is the first time that the two countries are going to talk directly face to face. This dialogue to be held in Istanbul may not immediately lead to the ceasefire or the end of war, but it is being seen as a diplomatic initiative, which can lay the foundation of a permanent solution in the future (AP)
