Ukraine has announced a suspension of its peace negotiations with Russia, citing limited progress during recent talks, Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya told The Times. He confirmed that the discussions will be paused until the end of the year.
Kyslytsya noted that he had remained open to progress during bilateral talks in Istanbul, where he represented the Ukrainian delegation. Despite efforts on both sides, the talks concluded without meaningful advancements toward a resolution of the conflict.
Sanctions Against Russian Officials
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed sanctions on several Russian officials involved in the negotiations, including Kirill Dmitriev, a special representative of the Russian president. These measures reflect Kyiv’s ongoing stance amid stalled diplomatic efforts.
