KYIV, May 29 /Xinhua/ — Ukraine expects to receive a “memorandum” from Russia with a vision of their steps to cease fire before the bilateral meeting announced for June 2, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said on Facebook on Wednesday.
“We are not against meetings with the Russians and are waiting for their “memorandum” so that the meeting is not empty and really brings us closer to ending the war. The Russian side has at least four more days before departure to hand us their document for processing,” wrote R. Umerov, who heads the Ukrainian delegation at the talks with Russia.
The minister also reported that he had already handed over a document reflecting the Ukrainian position to the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky.
Delegations from Ukraine and Russia held talks in Istanbul on May 16, marking the first meeting between representatives of the two countries since March 2022.
Earlier on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia was ready to provide Ukrainian negotiators with its memorandum on the terms of the conflict settlement during direct talks on June 2 in Istanbul. –0–
