Ukraine will insist on its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the next round of peace talks with Russia to take place in Turkey, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said late on Sunday.
“Our priorities in the negotiations are known: Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity are beyond doubt,” Zelenskiy said in his video address.
“Effective security guarantees are a must. Obviously, our goal is peace and a return to normal life in our country as soon as possible,” she added.
A next round of talks between Russia and Ukraine is expected to take place in Istanbul on Tuesday (29), according to the Turkish presidency.
So far, Ukraine and Russia have sat at the table for a few rounds of negotiations since the war began on February 24. There was an attempt to open corridors for the removal of the population and the arrival of humanitarian aid.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told Russian leader Vladimir Putin in a phone call on Sunday that a ceasefire and better humanitarian conditions are needed after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine; he informed his office in a statement.
“Erdogan underscored the importance of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, the implementation of peace and the improvement of humanitarian conditions in the region,” the statement said.
