Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, who spoke to Russian negotiators via video link on today and yesterday, described the talks as “very difficult.”
He says that “there are fundamental contradictions,” but adds that “there is certainly room for compromise.”
“We’ll continue tomorrow,” he says.
The talks via video link this week follow three rounds of negotiations in Belarus that have failed to produce any visible progress.
Both Russian and Ukrainian negotiators have voiced cautious optimism but haven’t spelled out any details of talks.
