Sybiha on the next negotiations with Russia

One of the key topics for discussion at the next meeting between Ukraine and Russia will be the ceasefire.

According to Censor.NET, citing RBC-Ukraine, this was stated by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha.

"We expect their vision of a ceasefire and will provide them with ours. This will be one of the key topics for discussion at the next meeting in the format of delegations that has already been held in Turkey. We want the negotiation process to move forward and these meetings to take place as soon as possible," emphasized Sybiha.

According to him, today is the time for diplomacy that will allow us to achieve a just and comprehensive peace. At the same time, we should not forget that it is Russia that is the source of aggression and that is the one that refuses to end the war.
