The head of the President’s Office and head of the Ukrainian delegation to the peace talks, Andriy Yermak, has told how he outlined Ukraine’s red lines that it will never agree to cross during talks with the United States in Saudi Arabia.
‘I emphasised our ‘red lines’. Ukraine is not discussing the neutral status and reduction of the number of its Armed Forces. We will never recognise any temporarily occupied territories as Russian.’
According to him, in addition to agreeing to a 30-day ceasefire, the Ukrainian side proposed in Jeddah the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of civilians and the return of deported children.
The head of the delegation also drew the parties’ attention to the fact that the issue of monitoring the ceasefire requires clear mechanisms and professional developments.
On 11 March, during talks in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine told the US delegation that it was ready to introduce a 30-day ceasefire, provided that Russia also adhered to it.
