Kyiv Hopes to Achieve Peace with Russia through Intermediaries Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has expressed hope that intermediaries could facilitate peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow, according to POLITICO. Kuleba said that Ukraine is “not ready” for direct negotiations with Russia but is willing to use third parties to broker a ceasefire and a potential peace agreement. He suggested that countries such as Turkey, China, or the United Arab Emirates could play this role. “We are open to intermediaries,” Kuleba told POLITICO. “We have been talking to China, Turkey and UAE about this. We would be ready to engage in negotiations with Russia if it is represented by intermediaries like these countries.” Kuleba’s comments come as fighting continues in eastern Ukraine and Russian forces have reportedly been amassing near the country’s northern border. Kyiv has accused Russia of planning a new offensive, while Moscow denies these claims. Western officials have also expressed concern about the possibility of renewed hostilities and have called on Russia to de-escalate the situation. The United States and the United Kingdom have provided Ukraine with military assistance and humanitarian aid. Political experts believe that while it is unlikely that Russia will end the war in the near future, it may be willing to consider a ceasefire or peace talks if it believes that the cost of continuing the conflict outweighs the benefits. However, they also caution that any negotiations would be complex and difficult, with many potential pitfalls. Both sides have stated their red lines and expressed skepticism about the other side’s intentions. Ukraine has insisted that any peace deal must include the return of all its territories, including the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014. Russia, on the other hand, is likely to demand security guarantees, including a commitment from Ukraine not to join NATO. Despite the challenges, the possibility of peace talks remains a glimmer of hope for both Ukraine and the international community, who fear that a wider conflict in Europe could have devastating consequences.”.

.” is a paragraph.Kyiv hopes to achieve peace with Russia through intermediaries, according to a report by POLITICO. The Ukrainian government has been in talks with several countries, including Turkey, which has offered to mediate between the two sides. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Kyiv is ready to negotiate with Russia “without any preconditions.” However, he stressed that Ukraine will not give up any of its territory as part of a peace deal. The Russian government has not yet publicly responded to Ukraine’s proposal. However, a senior Russian official told POLITICO that Moscow is “not interested in negotiations at this time.” The conflict in eastern Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula and backed separatists in the Donbas region. The fighting has killed more than 10,000 people and displaced millions more. In recent months, there has been a renewed push for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. However, previous attempts at negotiations have failed to produce a lasting ceasefire. It remains to be seen whether this latest attempt at peace talks will be any more successful than previous efforts. However, the fact that both sides are willing to engage in dialogue is a positive sign.
