“Ready for a new meeting,” Ukraine’s foreign minister said after a trilateral meeting with his Russian and Turkish counterparts.
Dmitro Kuleba described the meeting as “easy and difficult at the same time”: “Easy because Lavrov repeated his usual rhetoric and difficult because I did my best.”
He described the situation in Mariupol as the most difficult in the whole country, but said that he had gone to Antalya to talk about the humanitarian corridors, but “Lavrov failed to commit himself to such a thing for Mariupol”. “There has been no progress on the ceasefire,” Kuleba said.
“We have two goals, the organization of a humanitarian corridor in Mariupol and the achievement of a 24-hour truce,” he said, reiterating his hopes that “Russia will allow the creation of a humanitarian corridor from Mariupol.”
He later complained that “we can not stop the war if the attacking country is not in the mood for it.”
“We are ready for diplomacy, but we are also ready to defend ourselves,” Kuleba said. “We are ready to seek balanced diplomatic solutions, but Ukraine will not surrender.”
