Russian-Ukrainian negotiations may take several weeks - presidential adviser
The talks between Moscow and Kiev may last a few more weeks, Ukrainian Presidential Office Adviser Mikhail Podolyak has told Bloomberg TV.
"The negotiations may last several weeks or even longer, due to some legal issues that are incompatible with each other," said Podolyak, whose words were translated into English.
He said Ukraine's main demands were "ceasefire, troop pullback and political settlement regarding the disputed territories."
The first round of Russian-Ukrainian talks took place on February 28 in Belarus. Later, the sides met on March 3 and March 7, also in Belarus. On March 10, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba met in Turkey's Antalya. Currently, the negotiations proceed daily via a video linkup.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on February 24 that in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation in order to protect people "who have been suffering from abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." The Russian leader stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories.
