With Putin's ground forces bogged down in Ukraine, his defense ministry says it will change tactics to 'increase mutual trust' and give space for ongoing peace talks.
's government hopes will bring a ceasefire after more than a month of Vladimir Putin's brutal invasion. There appeared to be tangible progress, with Russia declaring that it would"drastically reduce" its offensive around Kyiv and another city"to increase mutual trust" and enable the talks to continue.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu gives a speech during the peace talks between delegations from Russia and Ukraine at Dolmabahce Presidential Office in Istanbul, Turkey, March 29, 2022.Ukrainian negotiators also indicated some progress as the two sides seek to hammer out mutual"security guarantees."
Ukraine's leaders have made it clear since last week that they're willing to accept a formal neutral status for the country, ruling out NATO membership and accepting some constraints on its military, in exchange for an end to the war. Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the round of Russia-Ukraine talks in his country had brought"the most meaningful progress" to date toward ending the war, but his American counterpart, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was more cautious.
"Maybe they realize that they are not winning this war, and they will never win," Ukraine's former ambassador to Austria, Dr. Olexander Scherba told the BBC after Tuesday's negotiations."We know what we are fighting for, Russians don't." He lauded Ukraine's defense forces for refusing to let Russian troops take Kyiv, and said they were even pushing Putin's military out of some towns it had seized near the capital.
