LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) – Ukraine’s position at peace talks with Russia is quite specific, with demands including a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops that must be discussed in direct talks between the two countries’ presidents, a Ukrainian negotiator said on Wednesday.
“Our position at the negotiations is quite specific – legally verified security guarantees; ceasefire; withdrawal of Russian troops. This is possible only with a direct dialogue between the heads of Ukraine and the Russian Federation,” negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter.
