Kalin: Russia wants to sit at the negotiating table not only with Ukraine but also with the West

Russia wants to sit at the negotiating table not only with Ukraine but also with the West and conclude a new big deal. The conduct of these talks will depend on the positions of the parties, including Europe and the United States. These statements were made by the Chief Advisor to the Turkish President, Ibrahim Kalin, on the website Türkiye.

“We realize that Russia wants to sit at the negotiating table not only with Ukraine but also with the West and conclude a new major agreement. This is a matter for Ukraine and not just Ukraine. There is a deeper strategic calculation,” he said. “It’s impossible to put an end to hostilities and eventually to war without restoring the right balance here,” he said.

According to Kalin, in order to create the conditions for talks, “all parties, including Europe and the United States, must have a constructive attitude.”

“Realizing this, we are making strong diplomatic moves with our European and American counterparts,” said Erdogan’s adviser.

Kalin also said that for a meeting of the presidents of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, it is necessary to make some progress in the negotiations.

“In order for the heads of state of Russia and Ukraine to meet face to face, it is necessary to have certain conditions and to make some progress in the talks. The Istanbul talks have come a long way, but the meeting of the presidents will require someone “Unfortunately, the developments of the last few weeks have negatively affected these talks. But we will continue to promote talks and dialogue, not war, with patience and perseverance,” said Kalin.

Turkey has repeatedly stated that it is ready to organize and host on its territory both meetings at the level of negotiators and a meeting of the presidents of Ukraine and Russia.

A round of talks between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations took place live in Istanbul on 29 March. Following this round, the Ukrainian delegation submitted a series of proposals to end the Russo-Ukrainian war, including the signing of an international agreement on Ukraine’s security guarantees.
