Ukraine has proposed a neutral regime in exchange for security guarantees during the latest round of talks with Russia, which means it will not join military alliances or host foreign military bases, Ukrainian negotiators have said.
The proposals include another 15-year period of consultations on the annexed Crimean regime and will only take effect if there is a complete ceasefire, negotiators told reporters in Istanbul.

According to Reuters, he said that the meeting between Putin and Zelensky is possible only if the agreement is approved by the foreign ministries of the two countries.
