Talks to end Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine face “deep contradictions”, although it is still possible to reach a “commitment”, Mykhailo Podoliak, a negotiator and adviser to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski, said on Tuesday.
“We will continue tomorrow (Wednesday). It is a complicated and extremely laborious negotiation process. There are deep contradictions. But of course a compromise is possible.” he said on Twitter.
The fourth round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine It began on Monday in videoconference.
Both parties have shown some optimism in recent days, but Podoliak’s latest statements show the difficulty of the negotiations.
The Russian army has managed in recent days to seize several Ukrainian cities.
Ukraine calls for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops.
Zelensky declared on Tuesday that it was time to “recognize” that Ukraine will not be able to join NATO, which was claimed Russia before beginning the invasion on February 24.
