Stop wasting the world’s time, Ukraine tells Putin after US talks in Moscow
Ukrainian officials have issued a stern message to Russian President Vladimir Putin following talks between the US and Russian delegations in Moscow on Thursday. The Ukrainian government expressed frustration over what they perceive as time wasting by Putin in the negotiations over the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2014.
The talks held in Moscow involved senior US officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, meeting with their Russian counterparts. The discussions were focused on finding a diplomatic solution to the situation in Ukraine, particularly in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions where pro-Russian separatists have been in conflict with Ukrainian forces.
In response to the talks, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized the need for concrete steps towards de-escalation and expressed Ukraine’s impatience with what they see as lack of progress in the negotiations. Kuleba stated, “It is time for President Putin to decide whether he will continue wasting the world’s time.”
On the other hand, Russian officials have maintained that they are committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict and have accused Ukraine of not fulfilling its obligations under previous agreements. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is ready to work towards a ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine but urged Kyiv to engage in direct dialogue with the separatists.
The situation in Eastern Ukraine remains tense, with sporadic fighting continuing despite multiple ceasefire agreements being reached in the past. The talks in Moscow are seen as a crucial opportunity to de-escalate the conflict and prevent further bloodshed in the region.
