The Ukrainian side clearly outlined three key priorities defined by the Head of State:

Complete and unconditional ceasefire – with cessation of all blows on civil and critical infrastructure. This is a necessary step to start meaningful diplomacy.

Organization of a meeting of leaders – presidents of Ukraine and Russia, with the participation of leaders of other countries, including Trump and Erdogan presidents. We proposed to hold such a meeting by the end of August – taking into account the important time frames offered by partners.

The continuation of the humanitarian track is the return of all our prisoners, including civilians and children who were illegally exported to the Russian Federation. “

Details: Umerov recalled that Ukraine is ready for ceasefire today, while “technical mechanisms are known”, and the only obstacle is the lack of political decision in the Kremlin.

“Peace is possible. But Moscow must change the approach: from ultimatums – to justice, from war to decisions,” the NSDC said.

Prehistory:
