Advisor to the head of Zelensky’s office: Moscow and Kyiv are approaching a compromise in the negotiations

The Russian and Ukrainian delegations approached a compromise in the negotiations. This, according to “Kommersant”, said adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak.

He clarified that the parties “began to talk about something, and not throw ultimatums.”

Podolyak explained that the parties were allegedly discussing the terms of a ceasefire, the issue of compensation for damage for the destroyed infrastructure of Ukraine, and the terms of a peace agreement. At the same time, the key point of the peace agreement is the issue of security guarantees for Russia and Ukraine.

Now the working groups are engaged in the legal settlement of the final documents.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation in Ukraine. In response to this decision, sanctions began to be imposed on Russia. In addition, the European Union, the United States and other countries have closed the sky for Russian airlines. We add that the Russian and Ukrainian delegations are negotiating to resolve the situation. Putin, in a conversation with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, said that “there are certain positive developments.”

Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with Reuters that Russia’s operation could end at any moment, but Kyiv must amend its constitution so that Ukraine would reject any goal of joining any bloc.

“We also talked about the fact that they should recognize that Crimea is Russian territory, and that they should recognize Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states,” he added.
