Russia not able to present promised "memorandum" for over week – Zelenskyy
The aggressor country russia has not been able to present the so-called "memorandum" that it promised to hand over after the prisoner exchange for over a week. Ukraine and Turkey have not received any documents from the russian federation.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this following a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Friday, May 30.
Zelenskyy stressed that russia continues to ignore all diplomatic initiatives from both Ukraine and its partners.
"Russia ignores all calls from the world for a ceasefire and continues the killings. In addition, the Russians have not been able to present the so-called "memorandum" for over a week, which they promised to prepare immediately after the 1,000-for-1,000 exchange. Ukraine has not received any documents from them. Turkey either," the head of state wrote.
According to him, in order to properly prepare for the meeting in Istanbul, it is necessary to understand the conditions: "Unfortunately, Russia is doing everything to ensure that the next possible meeting is fruitless," Zelenskyy stressed.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on May 29, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that a just peace will most likely become possible only after the departure of russian dictator vladimir putin.
Also on May 29, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov reported that Ukraine had conveyed to the russian side its vision of steps towards a ceasefire.
