A senior UN official said on Thursday that there was little hope that the talks between Russia and Ukraine would create a deal to fight between the two sides.
“The huge wave of attacks in the weekend is a clear warning of how soon this war can reach new disastrous levels. Moving forward will promote destruction on citizens, so the huge wave of attacks in the weekend is a clear warning to the Security Council on Thursday,” told to the Security Council.
“According to Ukrainian officials, Monday’s attack with 355 drone was the biggest drone attack on Ukraine since the onset of Russia’s full -scale invasion,” he said, “he said,” saying that it was the top before the previous night before the last night. “
The United Nations official mentioned that “cautious Asha” was expressed a month ago, decreasing in front of recent developments.
“Hopefully parties will be able to sit and the conversation is still alive, but just barely,” Xi said.
Dialogue and ceasefire demand
Russia and Ukraine held the first round of direct talks in Istanbul on 16 May.
But both sides failed to compromise on a ceasefire.
Moscow, stating that it is impossible to achieve a truss before fulfilling certain conditions, suggested that Monday is the second round of direct negotiations.
Kremlin said on Thursday that it was waiting for Kiev’s response, which was on its proposal for a new round of talks.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavarov said this week that Moscow had drafted a memorandum underlining its terms to settle Ukraine.
But Ukraine said that Moscow has not yet shared its proposal.
Following the May 16 talks, Kiev accused Russia of outlining unrealistic demands, incorporating the calling area which is still under Ukrainian control.
Russia began its full -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The war has led to thousands of deaths and large parts of eastern and southern Ukraine have been destroyed.
Russian forces have moved forward on the battlefield, carrying forward the demands of peace, in which Ukraine abandoned his NATO ambitions and left the fifth of his land.
Zelansky says Russia is engaged in ‘still another deception’
Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelanski slammed Russia on Thursday, saying that it was engaged in “yet another deception” by failing to hand over his peace settlement proposal before a possible meeting between Moscow and Kiev.
“Even the so -called ‘Memorandum’ was promised and was prepared for more than a week,” Zelansky said at her night video address.
He said, “Ukraine has not achieved it. Our partners have not received it. Even Turkey, who hosted the first meeting, has not rebuilt the new agenda,” he said. “For the United States, the President (Donald) contrast for Trump, despite the first and the most important promises: still another Russian deception.”
Zelansky urged Ukraine’s colleagues to intensify the pressure on Moscow.
What did America say?
Turkish President Recep Taip Erdogan told reporters that Russia’s invitation for more talks had raised Ankara’s expectations for peace.
Erdogan, who hosted the talks, has been maintained good relations with the sides.
Erdogan’s office quoted him, saying, “The road for a resolution goes throughout the dialogue, more diplomacy. We are using all our diplomatic power and ability for peace.”
The United States, Mävhile, stated that prolonging the war was not in anyone’s best interest and its proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine was “Russia’s best possible result” and President Vladimir Putin should deal with.
“We want to work with Russia, including this peace initiative and an economic package. There is no military solution to this conflict,” acting Deputy US Ambassador John Kelly told the United Nations Security Council.
“Now the deal on the offer is Russia’s best possible result. President Putin should deal,” said.
“If Russia makes a wrong decision to continue this horrific war, the United States will have to consider withdrawing from our conversation efforts to end this struggle,” Kelly insisted. “Additional restrictions on Russia are still on the table.”
