Reuters learned what Ukraine will offer at the negotiations in Istanbul.
Ukraine is actively preparing for negotiations with Russia to find a way to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Ukrainian representatives plan to present their plan for ending the war at the negotiations in Istanbul on June 2, including a 'roadmap' for peace settlement.
Action plan
The Ukrainian plan includes a 30-day ceasefire, a prisoner exchange, and the return of Ukrainian children from occupied territories before President Zelensky meets with President Putin.
Kyiv insists that there will be no restrictions on the country's military capabilities after signing a peace agreement, - Reuters reporters said.
Territorial issues
Ukraine proposes to consider the front line as the starting point for negotiations, which means abandoning automatic recognition of Russia's territorial claims.
Diplomatic efforts
Kyiv's initiative comes at a time of active diplomatic efforts by Donald Trump and Moscow's willingness to engage in dialogue. Official proposals from Russia are expected for joint work on a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
President Zelensky confirmed Ukraine's readiness for a peaceful resolution of the situation and sent a delegation to the negotiations in Istanbul.
After tense bilateral relations between Ukraine and Russia, Kyiv is actively working to find opportunities for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, including initiating a ceasefire and diplomatic negotiations in Istanbul. There is great hope for a positive outcome, but heightened caution remains on the Ukrainian side to protect national interests.Read also
