Ukraine and Russia are scheduled to meet for a third round of talks on Monday, as both parties have said.
By Omotayo Olutekunbi
The two teams previously met in the Brest area of western Belarus for two rounds of peace negotiations, during which they agreed to set up humanitarian corridors in the besieged cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha to assist civilian evacuation.
According to the Kremlin and the International Committee of the Red Cross, the attempt to evacuate Mariupol failed on Sunday (ICRC).
Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for violating the cease-fire agreement.
The actual venue and timing of the discussions have yet to be announced.
In an interview with Fox News, the leader of the Ukrainian team for negotiations with Russia, David Arachamija, called Russia’s basic objectives “unacceptable.”
“I would not say we are moving fast because we have a lot of people killed every day, especially civilians,” he said when asked about the progress of the negotiations.
“It’s tough, honestly, but we are still demonstrating some progress.
“At least, two groups are listening to each other and actively discussing different things.”
Arachamija went on to say that the only issues that are nearly difficult to agree on are Crimea and so-called republics that Russia wants we recognize as independent.
“This is not acceptable within Ukrainian society.”
He stated that Russia expects the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized in 2014, to be recognized as Russian territory.
Furthermore, he stated that the territories of Luhansk and Donetsk, which are controlled by pro-Russian rebels, should be recognized as separate states.
Moscow also demands that Ukraine be completely “demilitarized.”
