Location not disclosed. The first round of talks, on 28 February and the second on 3 March, both took place in Belarus.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba will meet on Thursday in Antalya, Turkey, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. This has not yet been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
In the second round of talks, Russia and Ukraine agreed to establish humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians and for the delivery of food and medicine.
“Unfortunately, to our great regret we did not achieve the results we expected. The only thing I can say, we have discussed in depth the humanitarian aspects because now many citizens are surrounded. The situation is dramatic with food, medicine, evacuation options“, Said Mikhail Podolyak at a press conference after the end of the second round of Russia-Ukraine talks in the Belarusian region of Brest.
Although a ceasefire was agreed upon to evacuate civilians, this did not happen.
In the first round, which took place in the Gomel region of Belarus, after 5 hours of talks, the delegations agreed to hold a second round of talks with the aim of achieving a ceasefire soon.
Vladimir Medinsky, an adviser to the Russian president, said they discussed all the items on the agenda one by one, noting that “they found some items that we can anticipate in common positions.”
